Cancer patient eligible for a third dose, my first two shots were Pfizer, my work is offering Moderna. I can get Pfizer but only if I Uber to a Rite Aide.
Which shot should I go for?

Just make sure you get a adapter as each uses different plugs sadly.Just get the one at work. This way you'll have both the German and U.S. 5G bands covered.
You win!!!CDC says try to stay with what you originally got if possible otherwise mixing is fine.
I agree with above get the one that works best for you.
I don't think it matters a whole lot between the two mRNA shots since they're nearly identical.
Just do whichever is easiest for you.
EDIT: I would consider getting a J&J over another of the same vaccine if its an option ... I would decline any of the other vaccine-choices at the moment as a booster though. (I had Moderna originally ... far as I'm concerned it and Pfizer are equivalent)
I am 2x Moderna, will be at 8 months in early Nov. since 2nd shot. I got neither through my HMO (Kaiser Permanente), but figure I am apt to get the booster through them and will get whatever they offer me, and figure it'll probably be Moderna. I figure it's probably no big deal which I get. I'd prefer one tailored to Delta and it's variants, but looks like that isn't in the cards for the original boosters.I just read that Moderna's durability towards delta is 76%, while Pfizer's is 42%. Not final but it's a Mayo Clinic study. They are similar, but the main difference may be volume of medicine involved. A Moderna dose is almost x3 the CCs as the Pfizer I think.
J&J booster seems very robust though.
I'm sticking with Moderna myself, I like that they are making the booster address more than just covid too (4 diseases in total?)
Thought mixing the vaccines was ok too, but then I saw this: maybe don't do it if you got Pfizer?
News to me, I doubt it...Wut? Moderna 3rd is different than first two?
I haven’t heard that.

The phase 1 trials for Moderna's mRNA-1010 were started in early July IIRC. It addresses 4 versions of flu: A H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B Yamagata and Victoria – all of which are recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). So normal flu, covid19, and the HSV pair.
