Moderna Booster Shots

This is what I currently understand:

1. Moderna Booster is 1/2 dose of the original Moderna shot.

2. Phizer Booster is a full dose.

3. ESR Dialysis patients are only eligible for the 1/2 dose. Even though dialysis patients are somewhat immunocompromised, there are only 5 categories of patients who are considered immunocompromised eligible such as transplant patients for a full dose or two.

4. Does anybody else know anything different?

I suggest calling the CDC hotline. They can answer your specific questions about the different vaccinations.
