“It's true that Moderna has better protected people from infection, but the two vaccines are almost equivalent in effectiveness against severe disease. This is important so that our hospitals won't be overwhelmed. If you were to ask me two months ago when we had only 100 cases a day, I would have said we don't need to go with a booster. But in the meantime, we moved from 100 cases a day to 8,000 cases a day and I won't be surprised if in a couple more days we see more than 10,000. We had no choice but to give a booster shot. I would have preferred more data, but I think we made the right call.”
