The CDC, on their web page of May 24, 2022 states:
"People ages 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised should receive a total of 5 doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine to stay up to date. The 5 doses include a primary series of 3 doses of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, plus 2 boosters of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine given at least 4 months after 4th dose. Note only Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is available for teens ages 12—17 years."
Unfortunately, this has not been well reported in the national press. Now you know.
