I have not heard of definitive reports that there's any significant advantage or disadvantage to mixing or matching. Take the next available.
I would agree with this, though anecdotally, it seems more people are having a stronger reaction to the Moderna... could be something about the vaccine or in the formulation of the injection itself.
Wife and I had 4 previous Moderna shots with, soreness aside, little if any aftermath. We recently went for the booster and the pharm only had Pfizer bivalent. She took her shot and because I didn't have my ins card with me I didn't.
The following day she was only bit effected, by day two she was hit with fever, inability to take meds or food and nausea along with breathing difficulty - this went on through days 2 & 3 we were close to an ER visit. It wasn't til days 4 & 5 she started to come out of it, today is day 6 and she's getting back to but not quite normal.
This is anecdotal. She has a number of medical issues that have left her quite fragile so it's possible the Pfizer either wasn't a factor or could have been a trip point, whichever it was we'll probably never know.
I know I'll be getting Moderna for my next boost.
