The headline says they will be offering booster shots to all Americans on September 20. OK fine, but then in the body of the article it says that Americans will be offered "a booster shot eight months after an individual’s second dose." So which is it? Will all Americans be eligible for a booster shot on Sept. 20 like the headline says, or will all Americans only be eligible eight months after their second shot? It can't be both. It has to be one or the other.

Remember that the earliest recipients received vaccines last December BumRushDaShow Aug 2021 #16

Thanks, I know that. But the headline says all American will be eligible on September 20, which totodeinhere Aug 2021 #18

It will be "true" in terms of "eligibility meeting certain criteria BumRushDaShow Aug 2021 #23

"All Americans who are eligible", fine print involved, medical workers, high risk, over 65, sooner Shanti Shanti Shanti Aug 2021 #17
