(CNN) -- Colin Powell, the first Black US secretary of state whose leadership in several Republican administrations helped shape American foreign policy in the last years of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, has died from complications from COVID-19, his family said on Facebook. He was 84.
An influential FDA advisory committee on Friday said the agency should authorize boosters of Johnson & Johnson's single-shot COVID-19 vaccine to the more than 15 million Americans who have already received the initial dose.
A panel of advisers to the FDA has unanimously recommended that the agency authorize a booster dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at least six months after completion of the initial two-dose regimen.
Nearly 1 in 5 American households has had to delay care for serious illnesses in the past few months, according to a new poll from NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
A recommendation is expected at today's meeting on whether to authorize a third dose for many recipients of the Moderna vaccine. On Friday, the panel will consider boosters for Johnson & Johnson recipients.
