EVENT DETAILS:

WHERE: Fire Station No. 1, 1000 S Garden

Booster doses are designed to further enhance the immunity of an individual who has been fully vaccinated. According to CDC recommendations, the following are eligible for a booster if they completed the initial Pfizer two-dose series at least six months ago:
– People age 65 and older and/or residents in long-term care settings
– People ages 50-64 with underlying medical conditions
– People ages 18-49 with underlying medical conditions may receive a Pfizer booster, based on their individual benefits and risks, and are encouraged to consult their medical provider.
– People ages 18-64 who are at increased risk for COVID exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting may receive a Pfizer booster, based on their individual benefits and risks, and are encouraged to consult their medical provider.
Those vaccinated with Moderna or Johnson & Johnson are not currently eligible for a booster; however, Moderna has limited approval for third dose administration for those who are immune-compromised.
