2) mixing—That means someone who received the Johnson & Johnson product can get a booster dose with Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech, as long as the person is 18 or older, meeting the criteria to get a booster.

3) And someone who has been fully vaccinated with Moderna could get a booster with Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer, if they are older than 65 or older, or at high risk.

4) The booster shots could start to be given by the end of the week, pending a meeting of CDC advisers and a decision by the agency’s director, Rochelle Walensky.

5) The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is likely to provide more detailed guidance and recommend that individuals try to get a booster of the same vaccine as their initial series, but allow for mixing and matching, according to federal health officials.

6) Get the booster… here is how to pick.
