I am not going to fight over this, because I know that within two months they will be proven absolutely wrong. Though we have not yet finalized the language, here is where we are heading at the moment: A Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster dose administered at least 6 months after completion of the primary series is authorized for use in: • individuals 65 years of age and older, and • individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19 Will continue to keep you posted here. Also happy to discuss. Best Regards, Peter See e I believe this is a major mistake. See tomorrow's events below.
