    Boosters

    The FDA and CDC have authorized COVID-19 boosters for Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson recipients who meet the below criteria. See below for information on additional doses for moderate to severely immunocompomised individuals. What’s the difference between a booster and an additional dose?

     

    Pfizer:

    Boosters can be administered at least 5 months after the 2nd dose of an initial series of Pfizer for individuals 12 years or older. Individuals 12-17 are only eligible for a Pfizer booster dose (no mixing and matching).  Online scheduling for booster doses for individuals 12-15 coming soon.

     

    Moderna:

    Boosters can be administered at least 5 months after the 2nd dose of initial series of Moderna or individuals 18 years or older. Moderna boosters will be administered at a half-dose volume compared to the initial series.

     

    Johnson & Johnson/Janssen:

    Boosters can be administered at least 2 months after the initial Johnson & Johnson/Janssen shot was administered for anyone age 18+. mRNA boosters (Pfizer or Moderna) are recommended over an additional dose of Johnson & Johnson/Janssen.

     

    Can I choose a different vaccine for a booster (mix & match):

    The CDC recommends a mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) vaccine for your booster. Currently you can schedule a booster for the same vaccine you received for your initial series. If a different one is preferred, please talk to your pharmacist at the time of your appointment. Individuals 12-17 may only get a Pfizer booster. Online scheduling for booster doses for individuals 12-15 coming soon.

     

    Additional Doses for Immunocompromised

    To meet the qualifications for an additional dose: 

    • Individuals who received either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at least 28 days prior

     

    AND be considered moderately to severely immunocompromised as defined below:

    • Had a solid organ transplant or recent hematopoietic malignancies

    • Active or recent treatment for solid tumor hematologic malignancies (cancer)

    • Severe primary immunodeficiency

    • Advanced or untreated HIV

    • Active treatment with high dose corticosteroids, alkylating agents, antimetabolites, TNF blockers, and other biologic agents

    • Asplenia and chronic renal disease can be considered if condition is severe

     

    Additional doses can be administered to Pfizer recipients ages 5+ or Moderna recipients ages 18+. Online scheduling for 3rd doses for immunocompromised individuals 5-11 coming soon.

     

    Moderately to severely immunocompromised individuals have been approved for a booster shot 5 months after a Pfizer 3rd dose for individuals 12+ 5 months after a Moderna 3rd dose for individuals 18+.
