The US CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced that Pfizer's new coronavirus vaccine is available to people aged 65 and over, people aged 18 and over who are at high risk of aggravation, and medical workers who work in workplaces where there is a high risk of infection. Announced that it will be subject to the third vaccination.


As a result, additional vaccinations will begin in each state of the United States.

This was announced by CDC Director Warensky on the 24th.



According to this, the third dose of Pfizer's new coronavirus is for people aged 65 and over, at least 6 months after the second dose, people aged 18 and over who are at high risk of becoming severe, and those who are at high risk of becoming severe. People who work in workplaces with a high risk of infection, such as healthcare workers and teachers.

Of these, those who were 65 years old or older and those who were 50 years old or older who had an underlying disease and had a high risk of becoming severe were those who said they should be vaccinated, and those who were 18 years old who said they could be vaccinated. People between the ages of 49 and 49 who are at high risk of becoming ill and those who work in workplaces that are at high risk of infection.



The CDC's external expert committee, which was held on the 23rd of the previous day, excluded people working in workplaces at high risk of infection because there was insufficient evidence to show the effectiveness of the third vaccination. It is unusual for the CDC to target vaccinations differently than the expert committee's opinion.



"Vaccination has prioritized people at risk of infection every day in medical and educational settings. The CDC's duties as director have been many in an uncertain environment. It's about maximizing the benefits to people. "



Following this announcement, additional vaccinations for eligible individuals will be officially launched in each state of the United States.



For those who have been vaccinated with Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, other than Pfizer, the CDC says, "As soon as the data are available, we will make an immediate decision on additional vaccinations."

President Biden also calls on the public to inoculate additional vaccinations

At the start of the booster vaccination of Pfizer's new coronavirus vaccine, President Byden also met, "Starting the booster vaccine is an important step in the fight against the new coronavirus. I really want people to take it. I myself will inoculate it as soon as possible. "



He added, "In the United States, 70 million people have never been vaccinated. Some people in public office are trying to disseminate false information about vaccines and hinder their vaccination efforts. This is absolutely unacceptable. What is happening now is a pandemic among those who have not been vaccinated. " I urged you.
