Report: FDA to permit 'mixing and matching' of booster shots

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is planning to allow Americans to get a different booster shot of a COVID-19 vaccine than the one they initially took, the New York Times reported on Monday.

The government would not recommend one shot over another, and it might note that using the same vaccine as a booster when possible is preferable, people familiar with the FDA’s plans told the newspaper.
