    The link references the Israel paper. Was part of the evidence they used to come to the 16-2 vote
    I cut and paste the headline.

    "While I would probably support a three-dose recommendation for those over 60 or 65, I really have trouble supporting this as written for anyone of greater than or equal to 16," said Paul Offit of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

    Others focused on the clear lack of data on the booster's safety in young people, especially 16- and 17-year-olds.

    “We have no data on the safety for this population at all," Chatterjee said.

    Peter Marks, FDA's top vaccine regulator, asked committee members to examine "the totality of the evidence in order to make your recommendation for us,” including data from Israel showing that booster doses slashed the risk of severe Covid infections in its older population.
