Is the Moderna Vaccine authorized for the booster shot or not?
 
MSM is reporting that Moderna has not received EAU for booster shots, even for immunocompromised people. People who have received their immunizations from Moderna will just have to wait for their booster shots. They even said that thousands of people have already received Moderna booster shots that should not have received them because Moderna booster shots are not yet authorized. I heard this from Lester Holt (NBC) and from Nora O'Donnell (CBS). I know many of you do not consider these news sources to be reliable so now I'm starting to wonder just how reliable they are. Can't believe I even said that!

I went to the Johns Hopkins website, as recommended by someone on another thread. Johns Hopkins states that they are administering Pfizer and Moderna booster shots to those who have a "qualifying medical condition". This is from the Johns Hopkins website, FAQ..........

"Is Johns Hopkins offering third shots of the Covid-19 vaccines?
Yes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized an additional COVID-19 vaccine dose for people who received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and have a qualifying medical condition, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A third shot has been authorized only for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

People with a qualifying medical condition who have received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines are eligible to get an additional dose of the same vaccine at select Johns Hopkins Medicine vaccination clinics. Eligible people must schedule a COVID-19 vaccine third dose in advance, as follows:

Schedule online through MyChart. View scheduling instructions.
Schedule by phone at 443-997-1875, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The FDA and CDC continue to evaluate data regarding the need for additional doses for other populations. For now, those who received the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine are not eligible to receive any additional doses of any authorized COVID-19 vaccines. Read more about getting a COVID-19 third dose at Johns Hopkins Medicine."

So.......Lester and Nora are telling the truth? So glad to hear that.

Having said that..... Hubby saw a "desk" set up at Colony Publix to register people for the Moderna booster shot. I guess Publix hasn't received the memo.

Is the Moderna Vaccine authorized for the booster shot or not?

Depends on who you want to believe.
Remember when the first two shots was the complete answer to this b.s.

Do you have a “qualifying medical condition”? Moderna has not received approval yet for a third shot for most people.

J&J, Moderna and Pfizer: What We Know About Booster Shots So Far – NBC Chicago

Bill14564 09-25-2021 03:33 PM

Back in August an EUA was issued for third shots of both Pfizer and Moderna for certain immunocompromised individuals. Recently, an EUA was issued for a booster shot of Pfizer for those 65 and over and some other groups.

A Google search can find the actual CDC notifications

billethkid 09-25-2021 05:10 PM

This link states Moderna's position on the third shot.

Moderna Asks FDA To Authorize A Booster Shot Of Its COVID-19 Vaccine. : Coronavirus Updates : NPR

All the rest of the arm waving is either special interest motivated,
or the inefficient process of approvals (on top of approvals).

Moderna was and still is under the "emergency approval to distribute" awaiting all the rubber stamps and quid quo pros to take place.

I don't see Moderna changing anything after approval that they are doing or not doing today.

We got our third dose yesterday at Publix. They require an appointment that can only be made on line. Very user friendly site (Google Publix third shot). Our appointments were 1:00 and 1:15 PM and on our way by 1:20 PM.

Side effects? None!

From what I saw on last night's news, Moderna does not have authorization for anyone to have booster shots, even if someone has a "qualifying medical condition".

I just found this from FDA.gov from August 12th. Seems Moderna does have authorization for booster shots for immunocompromised. I wish the media would get this straight. There is conflicting information about the Moderna booster authorization.

This is why you should always go to the source of information, when you want to know the information.

If you want an analysis of the information, or opinions about the information, or an investigative report about the source of the information, you go to the media.

If the media says something and you want to know if there's truth to it, go to the source. Always. Don't say "oh well CNN says X therefore it's fake news" or "Fox stated that and that makes it fake news."

This doesn't apply to breitbart, newsmax, the onion, or oann, because all four are, by definition, fake news.

Just because it’s FDA approved doesn’t mean it’s good for your body. A lot of things that are good for your body are not FDA approved.

I have actually had my Moderma booster back in August. My doctor called me and scheduled it so I got it. I am not going to question my doctor.

Got our Moderna booster at Villages Discount Pharmacy on Rt 44. They have all 3 booster, Pfizer, Moderna and JJ.

Johns Hopkins Cannot be relied upon
 
The research university founded by a man who " recently discovered records offer strong evidence that Johns Hopkins held enslaved people in his home until at least the mid-1800s." is not a source of "truth". The University, without question, is a fake institution seeking to enslave the minds of free thinking patriots.

I plan to ask that my antibodies be checked when I get my annual blood work done in Nov. Then if my doctor suggests it, I will kick around the idea of a booster. At this time, mass hysteria has not caused me to rush into something I may not need.
Funny, how folks say that you should get the vaccination to protect your family and then do not consider a booster the same way. The booster right now is only for the immune compromised. Lets all play the flip-flop game. Of course, I am healthy and do not need the booster, but I am sure someone will be adamant about EVERYONE getting the booster, just as they were about the original vaccination. And the vinyl disk just keeps spinning.

Luggage 09-26-2021 06:13 AM

The answer is a wink and a nod to the pharmacist. No one is telling you you need to bring in a doctor's note and I know many people that have gotten the booster shot already from moderna

I got my Moderna booster two weeks ago at Publix and I am not immunocompromised. They were also offering the Pfizer booster. You can make an appointment online.

Moderna Vaccine
 
Saw this article in the NY Times concerning The Moderna Vaccine. Maybe we don’t need a 3rd booster shot of Moderna.

I’m over 65 and got my 3rd Moderna (booster) shot at Publix last week because my doctor told me to. That’s good enough for me.

barbief 09-26-2021 07:09 AM

I don't know anything about the authorizations, but both my husband and I received our boosters a couple of weeks ago (Moderna) at our doctor's office at The Villages Health at Colony. I am diabetic and he is 69.

MrFlorida 09-26-2021 07:35 AM

Hoping this thing will go away so we don't need a booster shot.

Dotneko 09-26-2021 07:43 AM

We got our boosters of Moderna 3 weeks ago at Publix. Pharmacist said they were throwing doses away, so happy to put them in arms.

Yes many in the area are getting 3rd shots “boosters” for many reasons, but as I have heard and read, Moderna has not yet been authorized by FDA to distribute immunizations as boosters.

Halbraun 09-26-2021 08:09 AM

I am a liver transplant and take drugs to reduce my immune system to avoid rejection.. Studies showed that people with solid organ transplant and similar conditions did not reach the same level of protection as "normal" people with two shots. This "third shot" was given to to this specific group of people to help them reach that higher level of protection. It is not a "booster" per se.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: FDA Authorizes Additional Vaccine Dose for Certain Immunocompromised Individuals | FDA

"Booster" shots (of which only the Pfizer is currently approved) are the result of normal healthy people showing a reduced response after 6 months. This is an entirely different condition than the above action taken in August.

billethkid 09-26-2021 08:13 AM

Moderna and J&J are still authorized by CDC for "emergency" use.......which all of us who have the first two doses received.....with no FDA full approval.
See first paragraph in link below:

Get Vaccine Answers | How we know COVID-19 vaccines… | The Ad Council

The so called procedural approval process moves very slowly and inefficiently and influenced by special interest and other controlling groups.

The Moderna third dose is no less "approved" than the first two shots.....all doses are the same formulation and dosage!

The approval status is a well worn, misunderstood red herring!!!!

Slk9786 09-26-2021 08:15 AM

We received our Moderna booster 3 weeks ago while visiting family in Virginia.

yes, but when I asked about Moderna he said only immunocompromised are eligible

n8xwb 09-26-2021 08:19 AM

A third shot of Moderna is not a "booster". It is a third shot and is available to immunocompromised individuals.

It is available from Publix.

However, Moderna is stating that only a 50% dose is needed for the 3rd shot. That's what they are asking approval for, not a 3rd shot of the same strength as the first two. So, can you ask for for only a 50% shot at Publix?

Been hearing to many bad things about the 2 that we already got. Think I’m going to wait until the last min. to get the booster!

Jill Klein 09-26-2021 08:48 AM

The Moderna booster when approved will be 50% strength of the original shots. Still in testing.

Villages Health offers Moderna booster
 
My wife went to our Villages Health PCP 10 days ago to take care of another issue. While there, she asked about getting a flu shot, and what’s up with booster shots for COVID. I’m 68, wife is 67. We are both on the UHC Medicare Advantage Plan and in excellent health.

She was told we could both get Moderna booster if we wanted, and if we got it, we should wait at least 2 weeks after to get the flu shot.

As it was late on a Friday, we made an appt to return on Monday to get the booster. We both had received our 2nd Moderna jab early in February 2021.

We got our booster. I had no reaction after mine. My wife was a bit tired for a day, and her arm was a little sore for a day. We played golf, and carried on with a whirlwind of activities this past week. No lasting after effects at all.

We’re off to Disneyworld later this week for a few days for their 50th Anniversary celebration, and then off to St Petersburg the next week to see the grandkids.

We do understand that the vaccine is not for everyone. We see that each country is dealing with vaccines differently for its residents. Some even mix the different vaccines, like my cousins reported in Canada.

For us, we are healthy, and hope to remain so. We understand that the vaccines are experimental, but they seem to be working for us. It seems that we are ok, but no one knows for sure the long term effects.

Let’s all hope that the science is right, and that we all learn more as to why some are more susceptible to COVID, why some are more susceptible to side effects from the vaccine, and why some people remain unaffected by COVID whether vaccinated or not.

Each of us needs to decide what to do.

Our Doctor ordered the third shot for my wife and myself. We both had a Moderna shot and it was a full dose just like the first and second ones were.

The Third Shot hit me hard for several days. I can't believe it but the Third Shot is hitting my wife pretty hard. She's usually like the Energizer Bunny, not today. :pray: It's sad to see her wiped out like that but the trade off is well worth it. That's my opinion. Respect it please. She had almost no reaction to Shot #1 & #2.

No.
I asked about the 1/2 dose Moderna study.
The pharmacy goes by what is approved....a dose the same as the first two.
