Q1: Best COVID-19 practices?
Vaccination and boosters protect against severe disease. Monitor local virus spread. High-risk individuals should minimize indoor gatherings, wear high-quality masks, and plan for testing and treatment.
Q2: Booster eligibility for children 5-11?
FDA, CDC, and Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup authorized a single pediatric Pfizer booster for children 5-11.
- Non-immunocompromised: Booster 5+ months after second dose.
- Immunocompromised (after third primary dose): Booster 3+ months after third dose.
Boosters increase Omicron antibodies significantly. Primary vaccination is crucial.
No date yet, but FDA's vaccine advisory committee meets June 15 to consider Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) requests. Expect more info this month.
