Coronavirus – Faucus: You can be vaccinated with another vaccine, from the original, for the third dose

Americans may choose a different coronavirus vaccine than their original vaccine for third dose (or second, if they had been vaccinated with a single-dose vaccine) but the recommendation is to go with the vaccine they did first, if available, the White House’s top pandemic adviser said on Friday. Anthony Fauci.

“It is generally recommended that you take the booster dose with the first-line vaccine you did first,” the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases told CNN.

“But for one reason or another – and there may be different conditions for each person, availability or just different personal choices – you can, as we say, ‘mix and match’ different vaccines,” Fauci added.

It is recalled that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended yesterday, Thursday, booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines for its vaccines Modern and her Johnson, and said Americans can choose a different vaccine than they originally did, for the booster dose.

Fauci’s statements contradict, in part, the CDC and his recommendations American Drug Administration (FDA) – observes Reuters – which reported this week that Americans can get booster vaccines but did not specify which combinations would be best.

“You can now mix and match the vaccine, but in general it just makes sense to continue as in the original scheme,” Fauci said.
