When To Expect Boosters For Moderna And Johnson & Johnson - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

With the CDC and FDA now giving the public information on Pfizer Covid vaccine boosters, when can we expect to hear information for those who had the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines? We discuss that with Dr. Kavita Patel. Aired on 09/24/2021.

1. Sorry, hate watching videos, when is the Moderna booster coming out??

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I got the Moderna, too.

She said that we still have "durable immunity" and that we can expect the boosters to be available "in the next several weeks." And the additional news about the Moderna booster is that it's expected to also contain the flu vaccine, eliminating the need for a separate flu shot.

3. K&R!

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Those of us who got Moderna or J&J are still waiting for booster news

Though we know that the most helpful action would be if everyone got their initial vaccine shots. *sigh*

5. Yup

It sure would be great if all who are able to get vaccinated would do so!

I keep looking in news for Moderna & J&J booster info for you & others who got those. Nothing yet.

6. She said "a few weeks," but meanwhile we're still protected

7. That's great!

I think Moderna's higher dose is helping keep people protected!

8. I wonder if they will stick to the 6 months for the Moderna and the J&J?

My 6 months for the Moderna will be at the end of October. Of course, that will also be about 4 weeks since my flu shot. I think that was how long you were supposed to wait after the flu shot.

9. It'll be six months since my second Moderna shot for me next week

But they've said 5 months, 6 months and 8 months, so I guess we'll have to wait for a final decision. However, Dr. Fauci has said that he also got the Moderna, so I'm hoping we'll hear something from him...
