A Review of Recent Safety Data on COVID-19 Booster Vaccines

In an interview with Pharmacy Times, Sophia Humphreys, PharmD, MHA, said data are continuing to evolve around the safety and recommendations of COVID-19 booster doses, especially for the vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech.

In the interview, Humphreys discussed the difference between a third vaccine dose and a booster dose, which patients are considered to be immunocompromised by the CDC, and what she's hearing about a full vaccine approval for children ages 12 to 15. She also discussed the evolving data for Johnson & Johnson and Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines.
