Health Officials Revise Booster Guidance Over Omicron Concerns

The CDC now recommends COVID booster shots for all adults over 18, expanding from previous guidance for those over 50 and in long-term care. This change reflects concerns about the Omicron variant, which is still being studied for its transmissibility and vaccine resistance. Pfizer is seeking authorization for booster shots for 16-17 year olds. Meanwhile, Greece mandates COVID vaccinations for those over 60, with fines for non-compliance.
