The doses (strength) for the Moderna and Pfizer shots are different: All Pfizer shots—primary 2-series and booster—are the same dose: 0.3 mL each. For the Moderna, however, only the primary 2-series shots are the same dose: 0.5 mL eachThe recent FDA EUA Moderna booster shot is half the primary dose: 0.25 mL. If you are 18 years or older and have completed  the 2-shot Moderna primary series at least 28 days ago, consult with your medical provider about eligibility/risks for a full strength (0.5 mL) Moderna third shot based on your profile—underlying medical conditions and/or occupational risks for COVID-19.

 Vaccination is 5 times more protective than natural immunity.
