The FDA vaccine advisory panel has voted 16-3 against approving a 3rd Pfizer shot. The question they were voting on was: "Do the safety and effectiveness data from clinical trial C4591001 support approval of a COMINARNATY booster dose administered at least six months after completion of the primary series for use in individuals 16 years of age and older?"
There are reports that the panel may consider another question about approval for individuals 50 or 60 years or older and those who face higher exposure risks due to their occupation.
People on Twitter are already saying "doesn't matter! Already got my 3rd shot." Not sure how that happens but apparently it does.

I asked at the VA today, they said 6-8 months after the second shot. Even qualifying for the booster due to an IgM deficiency that wouldn’t be until April at the earliest.
Wish people who were anxious to get the third shot could give some of that excitement to the people who don’t want it at all…..

Not sure how they got 3rd one or is is just a matter of saying.. 
Perhaps they got same tipe of dose 3 times not busster and this is also difficult but not impossible 
In anyway normally as per GMP rules the approval should take minimum 2 years without any speed ups short cuts..
