WASHINGTON (AP) — A government panel of experts is meeting to decide how best to expand the nation’s COVID-19 booster campaign.

The group is also taking up the bigger question of getting a different brand for the booster than the original shots.

Several million have gotten additional doses of Pfizer’s booster since regulators gave the go-ahead last month.
