U.S. FDA to approve mixing and matching of COVID vaccines
The FDA approved Pfizer and BioNTech booster shots in September to some high-risk Americans and those aged 65 and older
The Food and Drug Administration is planning on allowing people to receive a COVID vaccine booster shot that’s different to the one they initially received, according to The New York Times.
The government would not give preference to specific shots but doctors would still recommend receiving the same vaccine for all jabs when possible.
This has been prompted by recent findings on the “mix and match” study that were presented to the the expert advisory committee to the FDA.
The study showed that one dose of Johnson & Johnson followed by a Moderna booster saw antibody levels rise 76-fold in 15 days compared with only a fourfold increase after two doses of Johnson & Johnson.
Booster shots will soon be available to a wider range of Americans with the FDA to announce their recommendations on Wednesday.

Russia strengthens ties with China following Trump’s positive meeting with Xi Jinping, aiming for deeper cooperation across various sectors
– Russian officials emphasise their alliance with China after Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping.
– Prime Minister Mishustin’s visit to China aims to strengthen trade and cooperation between the two nations.
Mishustin described his Chinese counterpart as a “dear friend,” stating that Russian-Chinese relations are at their peak despite Western sanctions. Li Qiang reciprocated by expressing Beijing’s readiness to strengthen ties, noting mutual support amid external risks and challenges.
Strategic Partnership
China remains Russia’s most important ally, having not condemned the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and echoes Russia’s language, referring to the situation as a “crisis.”
Ahead of this visit, the Kremlin highlighted the significance of the talks, sending a robust delegation, including top officials from finance, agriculture, space, and nuclear energy.
Mishustin’s visit coincides with Trump’s recent discussions with Xi, where agreements were reportedly reached on several issues in a gesture seen as a trade truce amidst rising tariffs.
Trump’s engagement with China contrasts with his lack of progress in talks with Russia, which he attributed to frustrations over the Ukraine conflict. This context may indicate Russia’s unease regarding China’s positive interactions with the U.S.
