"Matthew Daley, MD, who led the ACIP's updated COVID shot working group, said the team started with a blank slate regarding whom the recommendation should target and was led by the data in making the universal recommendation it put before ACIP today. 

"He noted there are serious illnesses and deaths across all age-groups, even among those who aren't in traditional risk groups."
