CDC advisers make universal COVID vaccine recommendation | CIDRAP

COVID still a burden across all age-groups

Today’s vote, which passed on a 13-to-1 margin, comes 1 day after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized for emergency use mRNA vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech.

Matthew Daley, MD, who led the ACIP’s updated COVID shot working group, said the team started with a blank slate regarding whom the recommendation should target and was led by the data in making the universal recommendation it put before ACIP today. He noted there are serious illnesses and deaths across all age-groups, even among those who aren’t in traditional risk groups.

“My perception is that those deaths are preventable,” said Daley, who is senior investigator at the Institute for Health Research at Kaiser Permanente Colorado.
