Register for the Jan. 11 Booster Clinic
Eligibility
If you received the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine at least two months ago, or if you received the Moderna vaccine series (or any WHO internationally approved vaccine) six months ago or more, you can now get a booster dose of any of the three FDA-authorized vaccines. The CDC has recently changed the booster shot recommendations for Pfizer, and booster shots are now recommended 5 months after receiving the Pfizer shot.
The CDC recommends that ALL people over the age of 18 obtain an additional dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (referred to as a “booster” dose) a few months after completing your initial vaccination. A booster dose helps the vaccine remain as effective as possible over long periods of time, and increases your body’s protection against COVID-19, including the Delta variant. Read the latest CDC guidance.
Why Vaccinate?
Vaccination has been shown to significantly decrease your risk of contracting COVID-19. It also greatly reduces the chance of severe disease; contributes to society-wide immunity to this deadly virus; and limits the emergence of more contagious, disease-causing viral variants. It will keep our community safer and help us maintain a full in-person living, learning and working experience. The COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States show remarkable effectiveness, and the CDC recommends them for everyone age 5 and older.
