Both sources presented their recommendations in a meeting with Jeff Zintz, the Corona Headquarters Center at the White House.

Some people involved in the details of the meeting said it was not clear how Zintz responded, but he always insisted on listening to the experts' advice.

"We have always said we will monitor science data," White House spokesman Chris Migher said, adding that the administration is awaiting a "full review and approval" from the FDA and CDC.

"When the approval and recommendation is received," Migher said, "we will be ready to implement the program developed by the most senior doctors in our country so that we can be a few steps ahead of this virus."

Less than three weeks ago, US President Joe Biden said that provided the FDA approves, the third vaccination campaign will begin on September 20 for adults over the age of 65 and medical staff who received Pfizer's second injection at least eight months ago.
