CDC Recommends Additional Boosters for Certain Individuals

This is an update.  Today, the FDA authorized second booster doses of two COVID-19 vaccines for older and immunocompromised individuals and the CDC has updated its recommendations to allow certain immunocompromised individuals and people over age 50 who received an initial booster over 4 months ago to be eligible for another mRNA booster to increase their protection against severe COVID-19 disease. Per CDC recommendations, pharmacies may begin administering these doses at this time.

Also, adults who received a primary vaccine and booster of Johnson and Johnson's Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months ago may now receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

The new EUA Fact sheets for Health care Providers and Patient/Caregivers are listed below.  The information of the WVBOP.com will be update at the top of the COVID-19 vaccine FAQ page with a comprehensive update as additional information on these recommendation changes comes out.  Please check the page for additional updates related to this information https://www.wvbop.com/COVIDVaccineFAQ.asp
