There is increasing evidence that mixing vaccines is not harmful, and might even confer greater immunity in some cases. Whether or not your state will allow you to mix and match depends on which state you live in, and how long it has been since you got the J&J shot. Call your state or local health department and ask.

I've read the Johnson & Johnson Covid vaccine works/was designed a bit differently than the other two that are available. How is it different? Is it more like the vaccines we're used to (flu, etc.) in terms of how it is made?

Is booster shot really needed for young people? T cells still have memory after 11 years of covid infection+vaccine. I don't think they need more than 2 shots and take more risks of vaccination. so why would give booster shots to all people??
