That message is indeed clear. But that message was issued before the discussion of this second round of boosters. That message only affects initial vaccinations and the first booster. The
latest messaging is thus:
Quote:
Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen*
Who should get a booster:
- Adults 18 years and older
Who can get a second booster:
- Anyone who received a J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine for both their primary dose and booster
- Adults 50 years and older who first received a J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of what type of booster they received
When to get a booster:
- At least 2 months after receiving your J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccination
- If eligible for a second booster, at least 4 months after your first booster
Which booster should you get?
- For the first booster, an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) is preferred in most* situations
- The second booster must be an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Bolding mine.
It seems to me that RE second boosters and J&J, the earlier "recommendation" against J&J is now a mandate.
So what has changed in regard to the second booster that I'm no longer allowed to choose any of the three vaccines that are still approved choices for initial vaccine and first booster?
As someone who has had zero adverse affects with two doses of the Janssen vaccine (and no covid infection as of yet), I would much rather stick with the devil I know for my third jab than to change horses now.
The messaging just seems very muddy and very inconsistent to me.
