The administration earlier this month outlined a plan to give booster shots starting Sept. 20, recommending it for most Americans who have received the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine. Health officials have said people would need reinforcements from eight months after their second dose of vaccine.
Officials have also said they expect booster shots to be available for those who received the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, but are examining the evidence.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reviewing the effectiveness of the booster dose and approval of booster doses is expected to arrive in the coming weeks. .
“The president would rely on any guidance from the CDC and the FDA and their health and medical experts. That orientation remains eight months; that hasn’t changed,” the White House press secretary said. Jen Psaki

If they changed their orientation, the president “of course, would fulfill that,” Psaki said, reiterating that nothing has changed.
Biden told Bennett ahead of his meeting Friday at the Oval Office that he “leads the most diverse government in Israeli history and that today we have a big agenda, starting with COVID.”
“Our vaccination programs have been successful – and we’ve talked a little bit, we’ll keep talking about the topic of booster vaccines,” he said. “You started your program a little early and it had good results. We will start in mid-September, but we are considering the advice you have given that we should start sooner ”.
Israel began administering third doses of the Pfizer vaccine to older Israelis late last month and Bennett received his booster last week.
