In the Netherlands the Moderna vaccine is not used for younger groups. I think the cutoff is 40.

Anyone over 12 can get vaccinated and get a booster, but it will be the Pfizer vaccine.

Note that Moderna's booster volume of antigen was reduced by 50% compared to the original vaccine, while Pfizer's booster volume was unchanged from the original vaccine, https://www.modernatx.com/covid19vaccine-eua/providers/dosin...
Moderna doesn't have volume of antigen at all, the dose is of mRNA contained in liquid nano particles.

Moderna did reduce its dose for the booster, but its original dose was also 3x that of Pfizer.

Any idea what motivated the reduction in Moderna dosage?
