Moderna vs Pfizer: Is it OK to mix and match the updated COVID-19 booster shots?

LA Times  

As residents prepare to roll up their sleeves for a third, fourth or even fifth dose of COVID-19 vaccine, some may be wondering: Do I need to stick with the same brand, or is it safe to mix it up? “The best booster for you is the one that you can get — either the Pfizer or the Moderna can be used, and they can be mixed or matched,” said Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, epidemiologist and infectious disease expert at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. “It’s OK to mix and match Moderna and Pfizer,” Dr. Ralph Gonzales, associate dean for clinical innovation and chief innovation officer for UC San Francisco, said at a campus town hall last week. I definitely felt a stronger response with the Moderna — having had Pfizer before — but either combinations are fine.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration actually allowed mixing and matching of COVID-19 booster doses starting last year, after it allowed people to get their first booster dose. L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said there’s some expectation that the updated booster will be available for children age 5 to 11 perhaps as soon as October.
