Is there another COVID-19 booster in your future?

Last week, vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech asked the Food and Drug Administration for approval of additional booster shots. 

Pfizer and BioNTech are seeking emergency use authorization for a second booster of their COVID-19 vaccine for people 65 and older, while Cambridge-based Moderna is seeking emergency use authorization for a second booster for all adults. 

Some experts are calling for second booster shots to be given now, my colleague Martin Finucane reported

The FDA's panel of outside experts will meet on April 6 to discuss the United States' booster strategy.
