Question for those knowledgeable about the vaccine

My first three shots were all the Pfizer shot. I’ve heard from some sources that it’s better to change that up. Would I be better off getting Moderna for my second booster, if I can find it? Thanks in advance.

Slightly better efficacy and mixing was fine.

I was already heavily leaning switching it up, but they had Pfizer on hand, too.

We got sick on booster 1 and now booster 2.

My elderly mom is M-M-P-M and she got sick on none, just arm sore.

Harvard epudemiologist, Dr. Eric Ding posted findings from a study on twitter stating mixing vaxes might well provide better protection as they trigger different responses to the virus.
