Update on COVID-19 Booster Shots

Read more here: https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/covid-19-vaccine/

For individuals who received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at 6 months or more after their initial series:
  • 65 years and older
  •  Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings
  •  Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions
  •  Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings

 

For the nearly 15 million people who got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.

Once a booster dose is recommended for you, there is no rush to get your booster right away. The immune system’s protection after being vaccinated does not suddenly fall to low levels. If you are fully vaccinated, you still have strong protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death, including against the Delta variant. Individuals should consider options for booster doses and timing of administration based on personal risks and benefits. Consult your primary care provider for guidance.

CSHD is now offering booster doses for all individuals. Appointments for clinics are required, and can be made ahead of time by visiting vase.vdh.virginia.gov.

Make an appointment to get your booster shot this week at one of our large-scale clinics! Visit vase.vdh.virginia.gov to secure your spot ahead of time.
