The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends boosters for individuals 18 and older who received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at least two months ago. Booster shots are recommended for those who received a Pfizer/Comirnaty or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at least six months ago.
The CDC allows for the mixing and matching of the type of vaccine. Those who received the Janssen primary dose may receive a booster of Janssen, Moderna or Pfizer/Comirnaty two months after their primary dose. Those who received the Moderna and Pfizer/Comirnaty primary series may receive a booster of Janssen, Moderna, or Pfizer/Comirnaty six months after their last dose.
Potential recipients should talk to their health-care provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.
KCHD has identified more than 90 Kane County community partners who provide COVID-19 vaccine. An updated list is available online at KaneHealth.com.
