No boosters are available, and boosters (3rd shot) for Moderna appear heading for a delay.

Per Dr. Hotez of Baylor U. ......Pfizer and Moderna were BOTH ORIGINALLY DESIGNED for Three (3) doses. J and J for 2 doses. Because the US early on had so many cases and deaths the US government (not sure which person or organization) decided to place the 2nd dose of Pfizer and Moderna MORE CLOSELY together than they were originally DESIGNED for. The purpose was a priority of quickness to get vaccines in arms before anti-vaccine hesitancy could RUIN the Public Health. It was a SITUATIONAL and non-ideal solution.
Today per the Israel Government....... 1) Israel uses the Pfizer vaccine. Today, those vaccinated in Jan are TWICE (2 X) as likely to have breakthroughs as those vaccinated in April.
2) The 3rd Pfizer shot reduces the chance of infection by about 75%
3) In people age 60 plus, the 3rd shot reduces the chance of severe illness by TEN TIMES (10 x)
I believe that I have heard that the Moderna 3rd shot will be available soon after the 3rd Pfizer is available
