High-risk individuals should minimize indoor gatherings, wear high-quality masks, and plan for testing and treatment. Q2: Booster eligibility for children 5-11? FDA, CDC, and Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup authorized a single pediatric Pfizer booster for children 5-11. Non-immunocompromised: Booster 5+ months after second dose.
