Covid-19 vaccine booster shots will be made widely available to Americans starting on September 20, US health officials said on Wednesday, citing data showing diminishing protection from the initial vaccinations as infections rise from the Delta variant.
US officials will offer a third shot to Americans who received their initial inoculation of two-dose Covid-19 vaccines made by Moderna Inc and by Pfizer Inc and BioNTech AG at least eight months earlier, the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement.
"It’s the best way to protect ourselves from new variants that may arise," U.S. President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House. "It will make you safer and for longer. It will help end this pandemic faster."
