“If you’re vaccinated and your family members are vaccinated…you can enjoy the holidays.”
Fauci spoke about the additional shot mere days after the FDA vaccine advisory panel approved boosters for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine Friday. The panel said that all those who got the single-dose vaccine should get a second shot as soon as two months after the first dose. “I think it’s very favorable for those who have received the J&J vaccine. I don’t see that as a problem at all,” he added.
. “I think what needs to be done, and I believe will be done, is that there will be a degree of flexibility that will be left up to the individual based on their individual situation,” Fauci said onwhen he was asked about the possibility of mixing vaccines. The data shows “that when you boost Moderna or Pfizer against the original J&J, you get a much higher antibody level,” Fauci said.
