Interchangeability of booster doses
Heterologous (mix and match) booster doses can be used in eligible recipients aged ≥18 years (see Considerations for use of a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for more details).
And from here: So you got the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine: What a booster means for you - CNET
The CDC says everyone who got the one-dose shot can get another dose of Johnson & Johnson at least two months after they were vaccinated, or they can get a booster shot of Pfizer or Moderna. That's because the CDC and US Food and Drug Administration have also authorized a heterologous booster dose for all adults who qualify for one, meaning people can now "mix and match" vaccines for a booster and aren't tied to their original vaccine. |
I am not a medical expert but, it seems to me a part of the issue is we chose to spread the money around. I've yet to see anyone but me question value per dollar. I have read that Pfizer is $21 a shot and Moderna is $20. Truth I'm not sure, perhaps it is the reverse Pfizer at $20 and Moderna at $21. In any case shouldn't cost matter? Cost and results? No one seems to know or care.
Like any disease covid 19 is changing. The current versions are more easily spread but less likely to kill. Originally syphilis would kill in days-little chance of being spread. The disease evolved into something people could live with for years. More chance to be spread.
