COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics
About Booster doses:
You must be 12 or older to receive a Pfizer booster dose and 18 or over to receive a Johnson & Johnson or Moderna booster dose. It is recommended that those who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines should wait at least five months after their second dose before getting a booster. Those who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson are eligible to get a booster two months after their initial dose.
You may choose which COVID-19 vaccine you receive as a booster shot. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.

Wear face coverings in all indoor public places,
Continue to wash your hands frequently,
