CNN —The US Food and Drug Administration wants to simplify the Covid-19 vaccine process to look more like what happens with the flu vaccine, according to documents posted online on Monday. That could include streamlining the vaccine composition, immunization schedules and periodic updates of Covid-19 vaccines. The FDA briefing documents do not say whether the annual shot would contain a single strain, two strains or more. The committee also needs to demand complete transparency from the FDA and drug manufacturers when weighing its decisions, he said. Even though there doesn’t seem to be much measurable decline in T-cells over time, Wherry says, he’s supportive of the FDA’s plan for an annual Covid-19 vaccine.
