In it, Pfizer demonstrates what it sees as proof that third shot will be both safe and necessary for most Americans to take, arguing that immunity wanes over time -- regardless of any new variant of concern.

A guide to whether Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients should get a booster shot — and how they might do so. --NY Times

Tue, 2021-09-14 08:11 — mike kraft
