More than 1 million people have already received a third shot of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, which isn’t yet authorized by the FDA, according to ABC News.
The estimate of 1.1 million third shots is likely an undercount, according to an internal CDC document obtained by ABC News. The number includes people who received the two-shot Moderna and Pfizer vaccines and then received another dose, but it doesn’t count people who may have received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine and then received a second dose of either Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.
CDC authorities haven’t determined whether people who received a third shot did so through the advice of their doctor, ABC News reported. The FDA hasn’t authorized a booster shot yet, though some doctors have encouraged severely immunocompromised patients to get one.. On Thursday or Friday, the agency could amend its emergency use authorization to make the change.
At an ACIP meeting in late July, committee members expressed concerns about those with weak immune systems and. The committee can’t recommend a booster shot until the FDA gives full approval to a vaccine or amends its current emergency use authorization.
