FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary: I Don’t Think a Healthy 12-Year-Old Little Girl Needs a Ninth Covid Booster Shot

‘We’ve got to see data that there’s a real benefit before making strong and vigorous recommendations about Covid boosters in healthy children today’

EXCERPT:

MAKARY: “Well, David, those recommendations live at the CDC, but if you want my personal opinion, I don’t think a healthy 10, 12-year-old little girl needs a ninth Covid booster shot. Population immunity is high and I think we’ve got to see data that there’s a real benefit before making strong and vigorous recommendations about Covid boosters in healthy children today.”
