US-based Liberian Infectious Diseases Expert, Dr. Dougbeh Christopher Nyan has told a community COVID-19 vaccination promotion event that, “clinical scientific evidence have demonstrated that you can now take mix and match COVID-19 vaccines. "If you took Pfizer-BioNTech, you can take Moderna as your booster; if you took Moderna, you can take Pfizer-BioNTech as your booster; if you took AstraZeneca [in Liberia and other African countries and elsewhere], you can take either Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Johnson-n-Johnson as your booster," says Dr. Nyan. Dr. Nyan made the statement in response to questions about booster vaccinations for those who took AstraZeneca in Liberia and other African countries where booster may not be available or are traveling to areas like the US where AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine [booster] is neither approved nor available. While Africa remains largely unaffected, COVID-19 infection in Europe and the United States has spiked again. Dr. Nyan is Chief Medical and Scientific Officer of Shufflex Biomed, leads the Diaspora COVID-19 Focus Group, and volunteers with the Maryland State Medical Reserve Corps which conducts COVID-19 vaccination, diagnostics, and pandemic awareness.
