CDC is adjusting our recommendation for when people can receive a booster shot, shortening the interval from 6 months to 5 months.
Earlier this week CDC made this recommendation for recipients of a Pfizer-BioNTech primary series and, after FDA action this morning, we're extending this recommendation to recipients of a Moderna primary series.
This means that people who initially received an mRNA vaccine series – two doses of Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech – can now receive an mRNA booster shot 5 months after completing their initial series
