Will the CDC recommend the use of Moderna booster shots to adults by the end of 2021?
Market Rules
In the United States, the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech is been evaluated by US health authorities to determine if booster shots should be applied to the country’s adult population or not. At the time this market was published, Pfizer’s booster shot was already offered to seniors, people who were constantly exposed to the virus, and people with immunodeficiency, but there were still no recommendations for its use in the country's entire adult population.
On September 19th, 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci stated on NBC’s Meet The Press that the data to determine the advisability of Moderna’s and J&J’s booster shots was “a few weeks away” from getting considered by the Federal Drugs Administration (FDA).
If by December 31, 2021, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends Moderna's vaccine as a safe option for a booster shot of vaccination against Covid-19 to the population of the United States over age 16, this market will be resolved as “Yes”.
