Your second dose should be the same manufacturer as your first shot, and in most cases you will receive it from the same vaccinator and likely in the same location. The process for scheduling your second-dose appointment differs depending on which vaccinator provides your shots.
What is the difference between Pfizer and Moderna vaccine?
Moderna's shot contains 100 micrograms of vaccine, more than three times the 30 micrograms in the Pfizer shot. And Pfizer's two doses are given three weeks apart, while Moderna's two-shot regimen is administered with a four-week gap.
Are the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines interchangeable?
COVID-19 vaccines are not interchangeable. If you received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you should get the same product for your second shot. You should get your second shot even if you have side effects after the first shot, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get it.
