After federal health regulators declared that a bigger number of patients will be able to receive fourth doses of the two messenger RNA Covid-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna, more people will be able to have second Covid-19 booster shots.

Four months after their previous booster, anyone who had two doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccination can receive an extra mRNA dose.
