shots. what groups will get them first. good evening. i'm elizabeth cook. i'm allen martin. today fda advisers granted emergency use authorization for moderna's covid booster vaccine. they recommended a lower dose of that shot for seniors and other high-risk groups who got their first doses at least 6 months ago. advisers say the booster could go into arms as soon as next week t guidelines. >> it's critical that we prevent infection as much as we can. >> please get vaccinated. that is how we put this pandemic behind us. >> millions who got their pfizer shot 6 months ago are already getting a booster of that brand. the fda will discuss boosters of johnson & johnson's vaccine tomorrow. joining us live now is the chief executive from ucsf health. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. good evening. >> we've been talking about the pfizer booster shots for a while, and i moderna is one step closer to getting booster shots into arms.

can you tell us why older folks may need the third shot of moderna, though a lesser dose? >> sure. very similar to the pfizer, the data shows that elderly, so those usually defined as 65 or older, may show lower immunity, and need that extra boost. the data from israel and other studies have shown that. moderna is the same mechanism of action as the pfizer vaccine . the dosing is different. the pfizer dose is 30 micrograms. moderna is 100. for the boost, it will be half of the dose that people received for their first and second moderna. it will be 50 instead of 100. but again, it is 6 months after your second dose that you would be qualified. very exciting news today. we love to hear more from the emergency use authorization from the fda soon.. >> johnson & johnson, you

expect that will be approved in the coming days as well? >> tomorrow the same panel meets . the advisory council for immunization practice, and it's an fda panel, and they will be talking about boosters for johnson & johnson, whether it, and it will likely be the johnson & johnson vaccine as a booster, but there is quite a bit of data, and again, some of the data is a little bit flawed , like study size, for example, where you could receive an mrna vaccine, a pfizer or moderna brand, after johnson & johnson as a booster. that will also be discussed tomorrow, but highly likely that johnson & johnson will also receive, through that same brand, a booster recommendation. in within the next week or so,

it'll be approved by the fda, then started, we have already started the planning process weeks ago when we heard about pfizer to get ready for moderna and johnson & johnson. >> i was going to ask you. is the bay area ready? a lot of us look back to what it was when we initially were getting vaccines. they were in short supply. it was hard to get an appointment. do you anticipate those problems with these boosters? >> not at all. we've been so fortunate since about the middle of may to receive adequate and consistent vaccine supplies, of all three brands. very much a different scenario than what we saw december, january, february, through probably the middle of may of this year. we have been extremely fortunate all over the country, the bay area specifically, to have adequate supply, to have a consistent supply. whether that is in your local pharmacies, or at ucsf, or your

other healthcare providers. >> you mentioned earlier about mixing and matching vaccines, specifically the johnson & johnson vaccine, you could be eligible to get the moderna or pfizer as your booster if you initially received the johnson & johnson vaccine. what about the other vaccines. is it safe and effective to do so? the been doing it a little bit in europe, but is it recommended here? >> here, none of the mix-and- match is recommended. the fda and cdc have not endorsed that. we are very homogeneous here in the united states here with the covid-19 vaccine, where it is much more heterogeneous in canada and europe, and mix-and- match. there aren't studies to tell you the truth on the mix-and- match. not recommended at this time. we will see what is said tomorrow regarding johnson & johnson, and if we will see mix- and-match be approved, or highly unlikely. if i were giving las vegas

odds, i would say we are just going to see johnson & johnson being given and approved as a booster. again, no data, no safety data. that's very important, because they haven't really been looked at her tested. >> i haven't been around that long. inc. you so much for joining us this evening. >> sure thing. thank you for having me. starting tomorrow, marin and san francisco counties are easing mask mandates. the rules include gyms, office settings, communal vehicles, religious gatherings, and college classes, only if everyone is fully vaccinated against covid. no more than 100 people can be present. contra costa county is not quite there just yet. it is easing mandates starting in november. eccentric new york real estate air robert durst has been sentenced in the murder of a woman who was once a kpix 5
