A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) panel on Sept. 23 unanimously recommended COVID-19 vaccine boosters for several large populations, including those 65 and older, though members voted down another recommendation.

Panel members unanimously recommended a single Pfizer booster for people aged 65 and older and long-term care facility residents of any age above 18.
