On November 19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that all adults 18 years of age and older are now eligible to get a booster shot.
• This follows authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of boosters for all adults who completed a two-dose initial vaccine series of either Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech.
• Previously, a booster was recommended at least six months after
completion of the initial series of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine for those populations who are 65 years of age and older, those living in long-term care facilities, and those 18 years of age and up who are at increased risk due to underlying medical conditions or where they work or live.
• Now, any adult, 18 years and older, who is six months or more out from the second Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna dose can request and receive a booster dose.
• CDC continues to recommend that people aged 18 years or older who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine receive a booster dose at least two months after being vaccinated.
• With the CDC’s action, approximately 2.2 million Virginians are now eligible to receive a booster dose.
• Those who are unvaccinated remain at the highest risk of severe illness and hospitalization due to COVID-19. This population remains VDH’s top priority. Everyone five years or older is eligible to be vaccinated.
