      The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention formally recommended booster shots for many recipients of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson's vaccines on Thursday.
 
                                                  
      Municipal workers have a week to get the COVID-19 vaccine or risk being put on unpaid leave.
 
                                                  
      The FDA on Wednesday granted emergency use authorization to booster shots from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
 
                                                  
      The mandate represents the strictest in the country, and applies to roughly 160,000 employees who have not yet been required to get the shot.

      A spokesperson says operations will not be impacted.
 
                                                  
      Approval of Pfizer's vaccine for kids ages 5-11 could come before the end of October.

      New research suggests Johnson & Johnson's vaccine has been less effective than others. Many may soon be looking to mix vaccines for better protection.

      Like with Moderna's authorization, recipients of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine will need to wait until the CDC issues formal guidance around use of the shots before boosters can be rolled out.
