Mixing and matching of vaccines will allow booster shots to be different to initial dose

The Food and Drug Administration has now authorised Johnson and Johnson and Moderna’s covid vaccines.

Additionally, “mixing and matching” of vaccines has also been approved, allowing Americans to receive a booster shot that is different to their initial dose.

The acting FDA Commissioner says “today’s actions demonstrate our commitment to public health in proactively fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic”.

She added that “as the pandemic continues to impact the country, science has shown that vaccination continues to be the safest and most effective way to prevent COVID-19, including the most serious consequences of the disease”.

The ruling will now be passed on to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and its vaccine advisory committee.

If signed off, vaccine doses could be administered promptly to those who are eligible.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
