COVID Vaccination Update
Beginning April 5. 2022, the Chesapeake Health Department will offer free COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters onsite at 748 Battlefield Blvd N, Chesapeake each Tuesday in May from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Appointments are not required..
The FDA authorized and CDC updated recommendations to allow for immunocompromised and certain adults the choice to receive a 2nd booster dose of an mRNA vaccine.
A second booster is now recommended for certain immunocompromised individuals and people over the age of 50 who received an initial booster dose of Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine at least 4 months ago. Those who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months ago may now receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
These recommendations allow persons who may be at increased risk to severe outcomes due to COVID-19 to receive additional protection. People should assess their own personal risk and are encouraged to consult with a healthcare provider on what would be best for their situation.
Ages 5-17 will be offered the Pfizer vaccine and will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
