There are different rules for different kinds of COVID-19 vaccine boosters. When is it your turn? ABC News breaks it down.
The CDC’s independent panel voted unanimously to recommend both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine boosters for certain populations. The panel also cleared mixing and matching booster doses.CDC Director Rochelle Walensky gave the final signoff on Thursday evening to recommend both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine boosters for certain populations, giving the green light for booster shots to start going into the arms of these newly eligible Americans.
"These recommendations are another example of our fundamental commitment to protect as many people as possible from COVID-19. The evidence shows that all three COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States are safe – as demonstrated by the over 400 million vaccine doses already given. And, they are all highly effective in reducing the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even in the midst of the widely circulating Delta variant," she said in a statement.
The panel also cleared the way for allowing mixing and matching of booster doses, meaning they will allow for people to get a different brand as a booster than was used for a primary vaccination.Echoing the FDA however, CDC advisors today did not say any booster combination was preferred over another.
