Departing FDA officials say it's too soon for COVID-19 boosters as White House plans rollout next week

The group of authors includes top officials with the World Health Organization. The paper stands in stark contrast to the Biden administration’s own booster shot plan, which some have criticized for jumping ahead of federal regulators.
