The Food and Drug Administration is releasing additional doses of Moderna's omicron-specific COVID-19 boosters that were previously withheld from the government's initial rollout earlier this month while the agency conducted safety inspections at an Indiana packaging plant.

Ten batches of the new shots, equivalent to millions of doses, manufactured at a facility in Bloomington, Indiana, will go out for distribution as some providers report shortages of Moderna's booster and instead offer Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine."As part of our regulatory oversight work, the agency recently conducted an inspection at a Catalent manufacturing facility that was contracted by Moderna to produce batches of its updated COVID-19 vaccine booster.
