Certain people who received Moderna and all who got Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccines should receive a booster dose, and in general, people should stick with the original vaccine they got, an advisory panel for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today.The recommendation comes a day after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized on an emergency use basis booster doses of the two vaccines and said people can get a booster shot that's different from their initial vaccine.The vote on each of the vaccine boosters passed unanimously.
The ACIP decision isn't binding, but the CDC often follows the recommendation of its panel, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
