Why it matters: While the votes are non-binding, and the FDA must still make a final decision, Friday's move pours cold water on the Biden administration's plan to begin administering boosters to most individuals who received the Pfizer vaccine later this month.

The big picture: The White House's booster plan has been the subject of much debate since it was unveiled in August, with some frustrated that the administration announced the plan before boosters went through the regulatory process.

What to watch: A CDC advisory committee will meet to discuss boosters next week, "after which the CDC will make their final recommendation," Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said at a briefing on Friday.
