The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is planning to announce that it will allow vaccinated individuals to get booster shots from vaccine makers that differ from their initial doses, The New York Times reported.
Sources familiar with the matter told the Times that the agency could announce the decision as early as this week. The FDA would not recommend one COVID-19 shot over the other, though it may note that using the same COVID-19 vaccine for the booster shot as the first two doses may be preferable.
The reported decision comes less than a week after a preprint study from the National Institutes of Health found that receiving vaccine booster shots different from what was initially administered is safe and effective. The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed yet, found that Pfizer and Moderna's mRNA vaccine booster shots offered the best protection.
The Times noted that this development may disincentivize Johnson & Johnson's vaccine, which is administered in one dose and recently received a recommendation from an FDA panel to be approved for a booster shot.
An FDA advisory panel expressed concern with the quality of data presented by J&J because there were ultimately only 17 people included in an analysis who were followed for six months.
Last week, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) voted unanimously to recommend Moderna's booster shot for authorization by the FDA. Currently, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is the only booster shot authorized by the FDA, eligible to people over the age of 65 and those at high risk of contracting severe cases of coronavirus.

Consider the turf wars between the govt tools and Big Pharma
No doubt it’s a fragile situation.
Keep fighting.
Only 17 J&J people in the study?? What kind of study is that...for a high school report??
Follow the “whatever”.
The deep thinkers in the Big State have come to rely almost entirely on the injections of the mRNA vaccines to “control” the incidence of COVID-19 Wuhan virus. This façade serves mostly as window dressing, because the disease still breaks through, almost as if no immunity at all was conferred, and manufactured stories that the disease is somehow mitigated or made less severe are an even bigger misrepresentation. Add to that the already well-documented and serious side effects that can be even more devastating than simply weathering through the disease itself, and can cripple when the shots do not kill. A false sense of security where none exists.
Hey sure...why not?
They don’t work that well anyway...
Follow the voodoo!
It doesn’t work anyway, so why not
Unintended consequences, what could go wrong? /S
Soon I expect our FR experts to begin a new round of VAXX flame wars over the best “mix and match” variations.

17 people in a study who were tracked for 6 months. There’s your long term test data. (What a sad joke.)
This is the most insane poison yet to come out of these vaxiopaths.
They are all but admitting that NONE of them work alone, but, gee, maybe if we mix poisons it will get better.
Let me be the first to congratulate the FDA on their decade of analysis of animal and human testing that allowed them to approve all combinations of mixing and matching vaccines.
This is magic at its finest!

So here’s my question, based on my understanding so far.
The Vax was designed for Covid (original version).
And that Vax makes the immune system work for ‘original’ Covid only.
So then varients are not protected against.
Did the vax makers change their formula as varients emerged?
How about the ‘booster’; is it the same as the original, or has it been ‘tuned’ or modified; and how?
