It is now recommended that the majority of Americans get a booster shot eight months after their second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The boosters would be administered once the vaccines are fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the CDC signs off on them. Ad administration official and two sources familiar with the ongoing discussions said that boosters will be recommended for individuals 8 months after being fully vaccinated with the Pfizer or Moderna shot.
Federal Health officials are waiting for more data before offering guidance for Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients. According to studies on the efficacy and safety of mixing different vaccines are still ongoing, the plan is for Americans to receive a booster of the same vaccine they were administered for their first two doses. Officials also expect that a booster will be needed for the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
