The COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective

The vaccine was tested in trials with thousands of Americans and no serious safety concerns were reported. The FDA takes these approvals very seriously. In addition, the science to develop this vaccine is NOT new. Scientists have been doing research on this type of vaccine for many years with previous outbreaks caused by related viruses. This research gave us a big head start. Safety is the top priority!

 

VACCINE UPDATE — Information about availability of COVID-19 vaccines for ages 5-11 is forthcoming, and a similar update about that will be shared soon. Some COVID-19 vaccine recipients can get booster shots.

For individuals who received Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster dose at 6 months or more after their initial series:

You are eligible for a booster if you are:

  • 65 years or 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

Also note:

For the nearly 15 million people who got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster doses are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.

Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine product they receive as a booster dose. Some people may prefer the vaccine product that they received for their primary series, and others may prefer to get a different product for their booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster doses.

*Please note that booster doses are only being recommended for individuals 18 yrs. and older.
