Can You Mix And Match For The COVID Bivalent Booster Shot?

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Pfizer and Moderna now both have new bivalent COVID booster shots that not only target the original strain of coronavirus, but also the highly contagious omicron subvariants that are dominant throughout the country. According to Dr. Onyema Ogbuagu, an infectious diseases specialist and associate professor of medicine at the Yale School of Medicine, just like with the last COVID booster, you can get either the Pfizer shot or the Moderna shot no matter what shot you got for your primary vaccine series or your last booster. Kobus Louw via Getty Images It's safe for you to get either the Moderna or Pfizer bivalent booster shot, no matter what COVID vaccine you had previously. In the case of the bivalent booster, there is not a Johnson & Johnson equivalent, so it’s perfectly fine for those who got the Johnson & Johnson shot to get either the Pfizer or Moderna bivalent booster. But, according to the American Heart Association, contracting COVID-19 is way more likely to result in heart issues than the Moderna vaccine ― so it’s still a good idea for folks in this category to get the bivalent booster.
