So, I have already been vaccinated, via the two-shot system. Now, there's a booster. Is it just both shots in one single dose? Do I get the booster although I've already been vaccinated?
From what I have been reading today they are looking at a third shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines roughly 8 months after your first two.
The Johnson one is still being looked at.
They will start again with the highest risk groups...age, health, medical personnel, etc. just like before and work there way through.
The plans are being firmed up.
Edit - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-19-va...-8-months/
The Biden administration is expected later this week to recommend that the majority of Americans get a booster shot eight months after their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The boosters would be administered once the vaccines are fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signs off on them.
COVID-19 symptoms and the Delta variant
An administration official and two sources familiar with the ongoing discussions told CBS News boosters will be recommended for individuals eight months after being fully vaccinated with the Pfizer or Moderna shot.
Federal health officials are waiting for more data before offering guidance for Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine recipients.
Studies on the efficacy and safety of mixing different vaccines are still ongoing, so the initial planning is likely for Americans to receive a booster of the same vaccine they were administered for their first two doses. Officials expect that a booster will also be needed for the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
