Summary
"The message from CDC remains clear: the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 variants is to prevent the spread of disease and vaccination is the most powerful tool we have."And on the subject of whether booster shots -- which could offer extra protection against the variant for immunocompromised people -- will be recommended, Walensky and Food and Drug Administration acting chief Janet Woodcock said they don't yet have a timeline on an answer.They were pushed multiple times by Republicans who argued Israel has already made the call to use boosters.Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, pressed Woodcock on when boosters might be available to people who are immunocompromised.A CDC advisory panel is scheduled to discuss on Thursday what the research shows on that point.
