West Virginia Makes Covid Booster Shots Available to All Adults
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice on Monday said he is making COVID-19 booster shots available to all adults in the state.
“I think that is absolutely the message that I’ve been trying to get out to people,” Justice said in a news conference.
“I absolutely believe that if you’re 18 years of age, you can get your booster shot,” he added.
Pfizer’s boosters are currently available to adults over the age of 65 and to younger adults in at-risk populations. But the company and its German partner BioNTech submitted a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week to open their COVID-19 booster to all adults 18 and older.
