The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) reviewed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) amended Emergency Use Authorization of COVID-19 of the vaccines.
The CDC has posted a COVID-19 vaccination schedule, which includes booster doses and additional doses for people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, and vaccine recommendations for children and teens.
Based on CDC recommendations, IDOH supports the administration of booster doses to individuals who attest to meeting CDC guidelines. Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose (Español). Any vaccination site can administer a booster dose.
A booster dose is not the same as the third additional dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine due to an individual’s immunocompromised status when getting another dose of the vaccine can sometimes help them build more protection against the disease.
The state Department of Health, following guidance from the CDC and ACIP, recommends that people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised receive an additional dose of the mRNA (Pfizer or Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine. People should talk to their healthcare providers about their medical condition and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.
Please note that the FDA has also issued a statement limiting the authorized use of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine to anyone 18 years of age and older if other approved vaccines are not available or clinically appropriate, and they would otherwise not get vaccinated.
Check the CDC website for more vaccine information.
