(Reuters) – Friday’s meeting of the advisory group at U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will discuss expanding eligibility for booster dosages. Pfizer (NYSE:), and BioNTech partner’s COVID-19 vaccin, which is available to select populations.

Pfizer requested that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), authorize the use of booster doses for all adults earlier this month. They presented data that the shots would be effective in preventing disease at any age.

This third dosage has been approved for people with immunocompromised, 65 years and older, those who have high risks of serious disease and are frequently exposed to the virus.
