WASHINGTON: US health officials, after meeting with the Pfizer maker vaccine, reaffirmed on Monday that the Americans who had been fully vaccinated did not need to get a booster shot at this time, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Human Service.
Pfizer said last week it planned to ask our regulator to ratify the dose of booster from its Covid-19 vaccine, based on the risk of the risk of a greater six-month infection after the inoculation and the spread of a very contagious Delta variant.
HHS officials have a briefing from Pfizer on Monday about their latest initial data about vaccination and will continue to discuss when and if Booster Shots will be needed in the future, the spokesman said.
Pfizer said it planned to publish “more definite data” in the peer-reviewed journal.
“Both Pfizer and the US government have a sense of urgency in staying in front of the virus that causes Covid-19, and we also agree that scientific data will determine the next step in the strict regulatory process that we always follow,” said Pfizer spokesman.

The distribution of Delta variants, was first detected in India and now the dominant form of new coronavirus infection in many countries, has raised concerns over whether the available vaccine offers sufficient protection.
Some experts say Booster’s shot will be guaranteed if there is a substantial increase in hospitalization or death among people who are vaccinated.
For its part, the World Health Organization said on Monday that rich countries should not order a booster shot for a vaccinated population while other countries have not received the Covid-19 vaccine.
