NEW YORK (WCBS 880) – Mayor Bill de Blasio got a COVID-19 booster shot during his daily briefing at City Hall on Monday.
The mayor, who got the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine back in March, rolled up his sleeve for a dose of the Moderna vaccine.
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said anyone eligible for a booster shot can get a brand of the vaccine that's different from the one they initially received.

"You can mix and match (the vaccines for a booster). I'm an example. I got Johnson & Johnson," de Blasio said. "The advice I've received, in this case as a Johnson & Johnson recipient, the best alternative for the booster is Moderna."
"Give me a boost, Dave," de Blasio told Dr. Dave Chokshi, the city health commissioner, who administered the jab.
Last month, de Blasio got the flu vaccine during one of his daily briefings. He also got his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine on camera.
