The FDA and CDC authorized a second booster shot for certain individuals who may be at higher risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 disease. A second COVID-19 booster shot may be administered to the following individuals:
• Individuals aged 12 and older with certain immunocompromising conditions* can receive a Pfizer booster at least 4 months after receipt of the first booster dose.
• Individuals aged 18 and older with certain immunocompromising conditions* can receive a Moderna booster at least 4 months after receipt of the first booster dose.
• Individuals 18-49 who are NOT moderately or severely immunocompromised AND RECEIVED JANSSEN COVID-19 VACCINE for BOTH their primary and booster can receive a second booster using a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months after receipt of the first Janssen booster dose.
• Individuals 50 years and older can receive either mRNA vaccine at least 4 months after receipt of a first booster dose of either mRNA vaccine.
*These are people who have undergone solid organ transplantation, or who are living with conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise. A list of the conditions can be found here: People with Certain Medical Conditions | CDC
