Who is eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot?

• All individuals 12 years of age and older at least five months after completion of the primary vaccination series of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or at least two months after completion of primary vaccination with the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine.
  • Individuals ages 12-17 are eligible for Pfizer booster only
  • For some immunocompromised children aged 5-11 years old, the CDC now recommends an additional dose of the Pfizer vaccine to complete the primary series for a total of three doses.
• Vaccine cards are required for proof of original doses

• CDC EXpands COVID-19 Booster Recommendations to 16-17 Year Olds

Which brand am I eligible for?

• Individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose:
  For example, Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine recipients 18 years of age and older may receive a single booster dose of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (half dose) or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, at least two months after receiving their primary Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. 
   
• Pfizer & Moderna COVID-19 booster vaccines are now heterologous (or “mix and match”).  If you received one of these two versions for your first two doses, you may receive the same or other version as a third dose.
   
• New York State DOH recommends that you only change vaccines if one or the other is not available in your area. If there is availability, it is preferred to get a booster of the original series you have completed.

• Booster doses are also available at Dutchess County clinics, find dates, locations, and time under the “Appointments” section of this page.
• Consult with your physician to discuss the benefits of an additional dose of an mRNA vaccine and to request documentation of your eligibility as this may be required by some vaccination sites.
