Thursday, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel unanimously endorsed Moderna’s proposed booster shots. Local Kansas City area doctors gave their thoughts on the recommendation. “They always base their recommendations on what the data reveals,” University Health Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Mark Steele said. University Health has given 1,500 Pfizer boosters shots since it recently received approval."We've had demand. It's not nearly as great as the demand was early on when we first got the vaccines,” Steele said. Steele says if approved, patients could get Moderna boosters as early as the end of next week.“Typically the CDC and the FDA act pretty darn quickly and the state doesn't take long either,” Steele said. Once approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people can sign up to get their Moderna booster shots at their local drugstore or doctor's office.Booster shots increase protection, but Steele says when it comes to ending the pandemic, first shots have the biggest impact because they prevent the virus from mutating and becoming worse.“If I had to rank one over the other obviously the people who are not vaccinated at all are some of the most important people that we want to get vaccinated,” Steele said.
