CDC advisers set to vote on Moderna, J&J boosters, mixing and matching doses
ABC News
A CDC advisory panel on Thursday consider whether to recommend Moderna and J&J vaccines boosters, as well as mixing and matching doses.
An independent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee on Thursday is set to discuss and vote on booster shots for the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, along with the potential for people to mix and match their booster doses.
On Wednesday, the FDA authorized Moderna and J&J boosters for some, and allowed for mix and matching booster doses with a different vaccine.
The next step in the process is for the CDC panel to deliberate and ultimately vote on whether to recommend those boosters, and whether and how to mix and match them.
The panel's vote is non-binding, and CDC is not required to follow the panel's recommendations, though they generally do so.
