COVID-19 Update
CDC Expands Eligibility for COVID-19 Booster Shots
For individuals who received a Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at 6 months or more after their first shot:
- 65 years and older
- Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings
- Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions
- Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings
For those who got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, booster shots are recommended for people 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.
Local Guidelines
I encourage everyone to continue observing municipal safety guidelines for COVID-19. Breakthrough cases of the Delta Variant are increasing, and we want to make sure our friends and neighbors are protected.
If you’re not sure what your local health officials are advising, you can call your county health department or visit their website.
