CDC panel supports COVID booster for all US adults

The U.S. is moving to open up COVID-19 booster shots to all adults, letting them choose another dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Regulators authorized broader use of the shots on Friday, seeking to simplify what has been a confusing list of who's eligible.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's scientific advisers have voted in support of the move, but the CDC has to agree before tens of millions more Americans qualify. The U.S. government is trying to get ahead of rising coronavirus cases that experts fear could snowball into a winter surge with upcoming holiday travel.
