I'm scheduled for international travel 10/22 and needed some additional vaccinations. [View all]

The last one is scheduled for 10/09. I wanted to get the updated Covid-19 booster before I leave. I decided to risk it and have an appointment for tomorrow. I got an email this morning that the vaccine is Pfizer-BioNtech. I have had 6 prior Covid shots, all were Moderna. Called the pharmacist and he told me only 1 place had the Moderna. First appointment available is 10/05.

Should I take the Pfizer? Get the different vaccines 4 days apart or get the Covid one 10/19? I was told to try to keep 14 days between vaccines and was risking it by getting the booster tomorrow.
