[Federal health officials have] confirmed plans to recommend a third dose eight months later for those who have been fully vaccinated with either mRNA vaccine. The shots will begin being offered September 20, and it's likely that booster shots will soon be recommended for those who have gotten the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine as well.

The decision will have to be validated by the CDC and Food and Drug Administration, which will include discussions by outside experts. There isn't unanimous agreement among experts. Some argue these shots may only provide a marginal benefit right now, since protection against the most severe outcomes appears to remain high.
