moderna and pfizer both say that their requests have been approved by the fda and they say this is good timing as we head into the winter months and a concerns about a covid surge continue to grow the company say their clinical trials show that the booster prompted good responses from immune systems. so now the next step is the cdc the cdc must approve this the officials there have promised to quickly review this data. once the cdc gives it the green light. well, then it gets going nationwide. so they're the thinking is is that nationwide 18 and older can start getting that booster as early as this weekend reporting live in campbell amy hollyfield abc 7 news. thank you. amy. new this morning. austria is going back into a national lockdown as covid cases surge. it's the first national lockdown in europe this fall the country's chancellor says it will begin on monday and will last a minimum of 10 days, but could also be extended an
