1An FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee member said healthy young people shouldn't get the latest booster
Verdict: True.
On September 1, 2022, in an interview on CNN, Dr. Paul Offit, a member of the FDA Vaccine Advisory Committee, said:
“A healthy young person is unlikely to benefit from a booster dose … If there’s not clear evidence of benefit, then it’s not fair to ask people to take a risk.”
