Welp, after getting my first two doses of Pfizer in April, I joined the Moderna crew for a booster today. New CDC guidance is that mixing and matching is safe and authorized, and based on preliminary testing may produce a stronger antibody response than 3 doses of the same series. Pfizer didn't do much to me, so let's see if Moderna kicks my rear end twice as hard.

Any recommendations for which brand of microchips? https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/covid-19-vaccines-us.html#considerations-covid19-vax-booster quote:Individual benefit-risk considerations for selecting which booster dose to receive tl;dr From the US Centers for Disease Control, getting another dose of the same vaccine type you got for the primary series is good, but mixing and matching is also good, and may even be better, but there isn't enough data to say for sure yet.

orange juche posted:So get whatever wallgreens offers then. Pretty much. When I went to Safeway on Friday - because the bastards at my local Walgreens wouldn't do walk-ins and turned me away - the pharmacist on duty asked which of the vaccines I wanted as my booster. tbh I didn't really care too much, because the best booster is whatever you can get ASAP. That said, I didn't want to take a dose of Pfizer that could be better used for kids, especially since it was just authorized for children 5 and up. Since the Moderna vaccine isn't yet approved for minors in the US, I figured that was the better choice.
