Vaccinated Americans, get ready to roll up your sleeve again. Starting in September, the U.S. will be offering Covid-19 booster shots to all who have received Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Why would people need a third shot in the first place? M.G. Finn, Professor and Chair, and James A.

"It gives you another wake-up call as an immune system; it says time to make more," Finn said.
