The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize boosters of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines by Oct. 20, at which time it could also allow the mix and match of boosters.
The FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted to recommend a booster for all recipients of the J&J Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, aged 18 years old and older, at least two months after their first dose.
Vaccine advisers to the Food and Drug Administration voted unanimously to recommend emergency use authorization for a half dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine to be used as a booster.
In addition to administering booster shots to eligible individuals, Kinney pharmacy teams are ready to answer questions, administer other vaccines and fill prescriptions, according to the retailer.
