Dr. Oglaza explains booster doses

Transcript Is there a difference between booster doses and the first and second dose that we received earlier? Yes, depending on the on the type of the product there's a differentiation between that regular booster and high-dose booster. For those receiving Moderna as a booster dose, and as a point of reference high-dose boosters 100 micrograms whereas regular dose booster is 50 micrograms. The high-dose booster is recommended for those who are 70 years of age and older or those with immunocompromising conditions. Contrasted to that with the Pfizer vaccine the the dose in the booster is exactly the same as the dose that was given in the first and second dose. And is there a difference between Modern and Pfizer for your booster? So these for for general population whether you get the regular booster dose of Moderna or a Pfizer booster dose initially there's no difference however some studies already indicated that the protection you got you get from the Moderna booster lasts longer and is more robust than the one from Pfizer.
