There are now booster recommendations for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States. 

Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. 

Some people may prefer the vaccine type that they originally received and others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
