What You Need to Know
The CDC recommends everyone stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines for their age group:
The CDC recommends:
- Children 6 months through 5 years who have completed the two-dose Moderna primary vaccine series may receive a single Moderna omicron dose at least two months after their primary series completion.
- Children 6 months through 4 years who have either not started or completed the three-dose Pfizer primary vaccine series may receive a single Pfizer omicron dose as the third dose in the Pfizer primary series.
- Children 6 months through 4 years who already received the three-dose Pfizer primary vaccine series are not recommended to receive the omicron vaccine at this time. Data to support giving an omicron dose to this subset of children are expected in January.
- People ages 5 years and older receive one updated (bivalent) booster if it has been at least 2 months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose, whether that was:
- Their final primary series dose, or
- An original (monovalent) booster
- People who have gotten more than one original (monovalent) booster are also recommended to get an updated (bivalent) booster.
- Getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection against COVID-19.
- If you recently had COVID-19, you may consider delaying your next vaccine dose (primary dose or booster) by 3 months from when your symptoms started or, if you had no symptoms, when you first received a positive test.
- People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters.
- COVID-19 vaccine and booster recommendations may be updated as CDC continues to monitor the latest data.
- Mix and match COVID-19 boosters. Guidance from the CDC lets you choose which vaccine brand to get for your booster. You do not have to choose the same brand you received for your initial vaccine series. The CDC does not recommend mixing products for your primary series doses.
- All people age 6 months and older are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. People under 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- People ages 6 months through 17 years are only authorized to receive the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and should confirm the type of vaccine offered before making an appointment.
- Walk-ins welcome in most cases.
- Phone numbers are listed for anyone who needs additional assistance or does not have access to a computer.
- Do not make more than one appointment or make appointments at multiple locations.
- There is no cost for vaccination. However, some providers may ask for insurance information, so please be sure to bring that to your appointment if you are insured.
- You will be required to remain 15 to 30 minutes after the vaccination for observation to monitor for reactions to the vaccine.
- There may be other vaccine providers in the region who are not on the list above.
- The CDC advises that an 8-week interval between first and second doses of vaccine may be optimal for some people ages 12 years and older, especially for males ages 12 to 39 years.
- Anyone who is overdue for a second shot should find a clinic that matches their original vaccine type, sign up for an appointment, and bring their vaccination record card.
- Studies have shown completing the two-dose regimen is the best way to ensure protection against COVID-19 and especially its variants.
