This week, the CDC endorsed COVID-19 booster shots of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, as well as a mix-and-match approach that will allow tens of millions of Americans to get COVID-19 vaccine booster shots
According to McBride, “COVID-19 boosters are necessary to optimize the immune protection for our highest risk populations” as well as “protect people from death and severe disease from COVID-19.”
“The reason some people need booster shots, despite the extraordinarily high effectiveness of the vaccines, is because there is a very tiny percentage of people who, if exposed to the coronavirus and get a breakthrough infection, are at particularly high risk for poor outcomes. So we’re really trying to protect those most vulnerable populations without confusing the general public and suggesting that the vaccines aren’t supremely effective,” McBride said.
COVID-19 vaccine boosters were first approved in August for people with compromised immune systems who received either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine. Americans eligible for boosters will now have the flexibility to choose any of the three authorized vaccines to better protect themselves. The clinical term for mixing and matching vaccines is called “heterologous.”
“It’s generally recommended that you get the booster that is the original regimen that you got in the first place,” Fauci said.

The Biden administration aims to lead a global vaccination campaign even as it rolls out boosters for domestic use, which critics say diverts doses from those who are in greater need around the world. The donated doses include more than 120 million in surplus from the U.S. stockpile of shots, as well as the initial deliveries of the 1 billion doses the Biden administration has purchased from Pfizer for overseas donation by September 2022.
