Pfizer/BioNTech to ask FDA to authorize COVID boosters for 16 and 17 year olds

$Pfizer(PFE.US)$ and its partner $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ plan to ask the FDA in the next few days to authorize booster shots of its COVID-19 vaccine for 16 and 17 year olds, The Washington Post reports.
Two sources told the newspaper that the agency is expected to quickly sign off on the request.
New data from Israel on boosters in this age group is said to have reassured the FDA that cases of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, in men is very rare.
The CDC today said that all adults 18 and over should get a booster shot in light of the potential impact of the Omicron variant.
