CDC Recommends Boosters of Moderna and Johnson&Johnson COVID-19 Vaccines
, people who got that shot should receive a booster; and that for people vaccinated with the two mRNA vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, those over age 65 and anyone with underlying health conditions, regardless of their age, should get a booster dose. However, the panel continued to debate the need for a booster dose among younger people whose jobs or living conditions present a higher risk.
“The last decision made in this regard is not the correct decision,” Long said, referring to today’s final recommendation. “And we are somewhat stuck with it. I can’t say that I am comfortable that anybody under age 50—otherwise healthy individuals—needs a booster at this time, either with Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech.
Data presented from the vaccine manufacturers and evaluated by the FDA and CDC showed that the mRNA vaccines continue to provide good protection against severe COVID-19 disease, although their ability to protect people from getting infected in the first place is waning.
Administering the boosters will be complicated, since Moderna’s booster is a half dose, and both patients and doctors will likely try to game the one study thatto figure out which one will provide the greatest protection.
