Sounds like they did.
dang, they are pushing that off brand everywhere!

When can I get a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine?
People who have an eligible medical condition that causes a suppressed immune system can receive a third dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine as soon as 28 days after the second dose. Johns Hopkins Medicine is offering a third dose to those who are eligible.

Gotcha.. Immunocompromised, which I guess does often have to do with age. Your comment made me believe that is was only based on age.

We don't qualify under those rules.
A third dose of the Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine (0.5 mL) administered at least 28 days following the second dose of this vaccine is authorized for administration to individuals at least 18 years of age who have undergone solid organ transplantation, or who are diagnosed with conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise.

That is for Pfizer, not Moderna. Not interchangeable. I'm 63.
