Vaccine boosters coming in the US

From Midday Report, 12:49 pm on 21 October 2021

US regulators have approved booster shots for both the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines.

Those, along with Pfizer, are the three approved boosters in the country.

The Food and Drug Administration has also announced it's allowing people to receive a booster dose of a vaccine different to that of their first or second jab - which is being referred to as mixing and matching vaccines.
