Chicago anticipates its own separate allocation of about 150,000 initial doses, according to the city health department.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the boosters Wednesday, and a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee is expected to consider them Thursday. Once the boosters get a thumbs-up from the CDC, health care workers can begin administering them.
As with previous COVID-19 vaccines, the shots are expected to be available at pharmacies, hospitals, health care providers and other locations. In Chicago, both the average numbers of new cases and daily hospitalizations are down from last week, though Cook County remains at “medium” COVID-19 risk level, according to the CDC, based on the rate of new hospital admissions, hospital beds occupied by COVID-19 patients and the number of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people.
The FDA authorized the updated vaccines Wednesday before clinical trials in people have concluded. The FDA said it based its decision to move the vaccines forward based on safety and effectiveness data of previous Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, as well as data from clinical trials of a COVID-19 vaccine that targeted a different omicron subvariant.
