Who are the boosters for?

The CDC is expected to recommend the shots for the same ages authorized by the FDA — 12 and older for the new booster from Pfizer and its German partner, BioNTech, and 18 and up for the Moderna booster. Anyone who has received the two-shot primary series of the mRNA or Novavax vaccines and the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be eligible, regardless of whether they received any — or all — of the recommended booster shots. Officials are expected to consider use of the updated booster in younger children later; pediatric data is expected in the next month or two.

The original mRNA vaccine will continue to be used for the initial inoculation series, but not as a booster. The shot is no longer authorized as a booster because officials want to ensure people “get the most up to date version of the booster vaccine,” Marks said.
