The latest Covid Vaccinations are available and I have a question. [View all]

We previously got all our Covid shots and boosters at CVS Pharmacies and they were all Moderna. Currently, CVS is only offering Pfizer, except for one or two inconvenient locations offering Moderna.

I have researched this issue and found both are "new" vaccines and not boosters. Both work the same way, have the same side effects, efficacy, and target the latest K-2 variant (why they named it after the second highest mountain on Earth is a question for another day).

We would appreciate any information to help us determine if we should stick with Moderna or get Pfizer this time. In other words, can we "mix and match?"
