FDA may approve new Covid boosters by Friday as deaths spike
6 September 2023 - The FDA could approve new Covid-19 vaccine boosters as soon as Friday, NBC reported Wednesday, offering more protection against the coronavirus’ dominant XBB sub-lineage, which is causing a spike in deaths and hospitalisations in the US.
This comes after the agency encouraged Moderna, Pfizer and Novavax to create new monovalent vaccines that target the XBB lineage, which makes up the majority of the variants circulating in the US.
