Israel began offering a third dose of Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine Monday to immunocompromised adults at high risk of death from COVID-19. This comes as Pfizer officials met with U.S. regulators and vaccine experts Monday seeking emergency use authorization for a second booster dose of its vaccine. Most public health experts say a third shot of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine is not necessary for most adults. In Geneva, the head of the World Health Organization slammed the growing vaccine gap between rich and poor countries. This is Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: “Some countries and regions are actually ordering millions of booster doses before other countries have had supplies to vaccinate their health workers and most vulnerable. … We’re making conscious choices right now not to protect those most in need.”
