September 20, 2021

In response to the FDA’s recommendation of a Pfizer booster dose in persons 65 years of age and older, and individuals at high risk of severe COVID-19, Texas Children’s is awaiting necessary guidance from the CDC and the State. The CDC is scheduled to meet next week. Texas Children’s remains ready to administer boosters once these guidelines and approvals are available.
