Primary Series

COVID-19 vaccine primary series is offered for 12 years of age and up--Pfizer only. COVID-19 Moderna or Janssen primary series is available for anyone 18 years of age and older. Anyone 12 and older with moderate or severe immunocompromise should receive 3 doses of Pfizer or anyone 18 years and older for the Moderna mRNA vaccine as their primary series.

Boost Doses

COVID-19 Vaccine BOOST DOSE (Moderna) for people 18 years of age and older must meet the following eligibility criteria: 

• MUST be at least 6 months from second dose of their primary series.

COVID-19 Vaccine BOOST DOSE (Pfizer) for people 12 years and older must meet the following criteria:

• MUST be at least 5 months from second dose of their primary series.
• Heterologous (the Mix and Match Approach) may not be used for those 17 years of age and younger)

COVID-19 Vaccine BOOST DOSE (Janssen) for people 18 years of age and older must meet the following criteria:

• Must be at least 2 months from the initial single dose primary series.

Mix and Match Authorization

The FDA amended Emergency Use Authorization for COVID-19 vaccines to allow for the use of each of the available COVID-19 vaccines as a mix-and match booster dose in eligible individuals following completion of a primary vaccination with a different available COVID-19 vaccine. A mix and match approach is only allowable for the booster dose only—not as part of a primary series. This means that you will be able to choose the vaccine you want as your boost dose or may do so in consultation with your healthcare provider prior to the clinic. In general, the same product used for the primary regime should be used for the booster.

NOTE: The CDC is endorsing updated recommendations made by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). ACIP recommends Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines should be given instead of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine when possible and appropriate.

Please enter the vaccine of your choice (required component) when it is prompted during the online reservation process. Location is at Community Health at 2712 12th Street in Harlan.
