NEW YORK (WABC) -- The CDC is now signaling that some people may need a fourth vaccine shot.
According to the CDC's website, people whose immune system is compromised and have already gotten a booster shot may need a fourth dose six months later.
The CDC updated its booster guidance, and the new information affects adults who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.
The CDC authorized a third dose for certain immunocompromised people 18 and older in August. It said a third dose, rather than a booster -- the CDC makes a distinction between the two -- was necessary because the immunocompromised may not have had a complete immune response from the first two doses.
