CDC Panel Recommends Pfizer Covid-19 Boosters for Seniors, Certain Adults With Underlying Medical Conditions
The article from the Wall Street Journal talks about the CDC recommendation of booster shots for seniors and people with medical conditions. It further mentions that there is no clear outline for who should be eligible to receive those shots.
According to the CDC advisers, people over 65 and people from 50 to 64 years should definitely receive a booster shot. Everybody younger than that should think about it and act according to their medical conditions. In addition to that, the advisers from the CDC panel also recommended people in nursing homes get the booster shot. The article also mentions how the CDC panel disagreed with the FDA’s recommendation to give the booster shot to people at high risk, like prison inmates and healthcare workers. Lastly, the WSJ article mentions how the CDC usually follows its’ panel’s recommendations, which includes 15 members.
In general, the article is very informative and stays neutral the entire time. It doesn’t take one side and just mentions the facts that are at hand. The lead of the story is pretty long but sums up the most important information. One other thing that is good about the article is the fact that it shows the readers how long it takes to read the article.

I have never noticed the WSJ puts stock prices and trends into the stories.
I don’t see the time to read; just the time to listen. But offering read times is becoming more common.
