COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters and Additional Doses Update
Posted November 22, 2021
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated recommendations for COVID-19 boosters to include individuals age 18 or older who:
- Received the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago, or
- Received both required doses of either the Moderna or the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, with the second dose at least six months ago.
Individuals who have a medical condition associated with immunosuppression are eligible to receive an additional vaccine dose.
The FDA has determined it is safe to receive a different brand for the booster or additional dose than the brand you initially received.
To schedule an appointment, please read our booster/additional dose information.
