A San Francisco hospital is letting people who got Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine get a dose of Pfizer’s or Moderna’s.
J&J’s shot may be the least effective against the Delta variant.
But US regulators haven’t recommended extra shots or boosters for any Americans yet.
It’s not a booster shot, the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital says – it’s a “supplemental dose.” Starting later this week, the hospital will allow people who received Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine to get a second shot of either Pfizer or Moderna.
