The key, according to health officials, is for people to get vaccinated to stop mutation.
Health officials gave the cold shoulder to Pfizer's announcement it would seek approval for a COVID booster, a third shot of its current vaccine, to extend immunity to the coronavirus. The CDC's director noted Americans don't need a booster, yet. Pfizer also announced it's planning clinical trials for a revamped vaccine that specifically targets the fast-spreading delta COVID variant.
