I read an article, not sure where, but it may have been the NYT or maybe
Science News talking about the need (or maybe not) of a booster. The Pfizer
and Moderna vaccines are very similar in concept and maybe even design, but
the dosages and intervals are significantly different.
The original Pfizer vaccine was two 20 ml doses three weeks apart.
The original Moderna vaccine was two 100 ml doses 4 weeks apart.
Some evidence has now shown that the larger doses with the bigger interval
seems to have more staying power. The same article speculated that the
Moderna vaccine may not need a booster for almost a year, or possibly ever.
The UK gambled with longer intervals, and that actually seems to have paid
off.
We are at the 6-month mark now, but we got the Moderna.
