Moderna Booster shot for elderly and high-risk individuals has received FDA approval
In particular, members of the panel agreed that Moderna’s safety data for a half-dose booster was sketchy. However, in the face of an ongoing pandemic and signs that at least some at-risk individuals could develop serious breakthrough cases, they decided that it was good enough.
Many people with compromised immune systems have already received the full course of treatment with the Moderna shot without experiencing any side effects, which gave the experts confidence in its safety.
As Eric Rubin, a panellist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, put it: “These are extraordinary times, and we have to work with imperfect data”.

Adolescents and young adults are more likely to develop myocarditis or pericarditis after receiving the second dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccine than after receiving the first dose. Covid-19 vaccination has been shown to have benefits that outweigh its risks, including the possibility of myocarditis or pericarditis. These reports are extremely rare.

Who Should NOT Get Vaccinated
- If you have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) or an immediate allergic reaction, even if it was not severe, to any ingredient in an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (such as polyethylene glycol), you should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
- If you had a severe or immediate allergic reaction after getting the first dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, you should not get a second dose of either of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech).
- A severe allergic reaction is one that needs to be treated with epinephrine or EpiPen or with medical care.
- An immediate allergic reaction means a reaction within 4 hours of getting the shot, including symptoms such as hives, swelling, or wheezing (respiratory distress).

How Well the Vaccine Works
- Based on evidence from clinical trials, in people aged 18 years and older, the Moderna vaccine was 94.1% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in people who received two doses and had no evidence of being previously infected.
- The vaccine was also highly effective in clinical trials at preventing COVID-19 among people of diverse age, sex, race, and ethnicity categories and among people with underlying medical conditions.
- CDC will continue to provide updates as we learn more about how well the Moderna vaccine works in real-world conditions.
