Pfizer and Moderna shots may also be given to those vaccinated with AstraZeneca; Moderna and AstraZeneca for those inoculated with Pfizer, and Pfizer and AstraZeneca for those who got Moderna shots.Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire pointed out that those 18 years old and above could avail themselves of the booster shots six months after their second dose for all vaccines except Janssen, which should be taken three months after the single dose.
“For boosters, we still prioritize health-care workers, seniors and immunocompromised. After these groups have been vaccinated, that’s when we vaccinate 18 years old and above,” Vergeire added.
