Watch: Gov. Gavin Newsom Gets His COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shot
OAKLAND (CBS13) — Gov. Gavin Newsom was in Alameda County on Wednesday getting his COVID-19 vaccine booster shot.
Newsom was one of the nearly 15 million people whose first dose was the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
People who are 18 and older and who got Johnson & Johnson vaccine are recommended to get a booster shot, as long they were vaccinated two or more months ago.
So, on Wednesday, Newsom got the Moderna vaccine booster.
Health experts say people who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can mix and match their booster, either getting the Pfizer or Moderna version.
According to the CDC, adults who got either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine only need to get a booster at this time if they are 65 years or older - or if they live in long-term care settings, have underlying medical conditions, or if they work or live in high-risk settings.
