(WSVN) - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced another significant boost in the fight against COVID-19.
Officials on Monday said that those who are immunocompromised will now be eligible to receive a fourth shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine starting this week.
Officials said the booster shot will be available to those with a weakened immune system five months after they received their third booster, which was authorized in August.
On Monday, Pfizer officials said an omicron-specific vaccine could be ready by March.
