Booster Dose Information
Pacific County providers are now offering booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine!
A booster dose is recommended for everyone who received Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine more than 2 months ago.
If you received Pfizer or Moderna as your initial series, you should get a booster dose if it's been at least 6 months since your second dose, and you fall into one of these groups:
• People are over the age of 65; OR
• People 65 and older; OR
• Residents in long-term care facilities
• People 50-64 years old with underlying medical conditions
• People 18-49 years old with underlying medical conditions
• And people 18-64 years old who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of their occupation may receive a booster, based on their individual benefits and risks.
According to the CDC, occupations at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission include front line essential workers and health care workers, including:
• First responders (healthcare workers, firefighters, police, congregate care staff)
• Education staff (teachers, support staff, daycare workers)
• Food and agriculture workers
• Manufacturing workers
• Corrections workers
• U.S. Postal Service workers
• Public transit workers

Booster Dose Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get a booster dose?
Answer: Anywhere offering COVID vaccine. You can find a location near you by searching www.pacificcountycovid19.com
Can I get my booster dose at the same time as my flu shot?
Answer: Yes – great idea! You can get your COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccines, including the annual influenza vaccine.
If I need a booster, does that mean the vaccine isn’t working?
Answer: No. COVID-19 vaccines continue to be very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death, including against the delta variant. But studies are showing that protection against mild and moderate illness may decrease over time, especially among certain higher risk groups. Getting a booster dose 6 months after completing the first two doses will provide an increased immune response and better protection against COVID-19.
Am I still considered fully vaccinated if I do not get a booster?
Answer: Yes. People are still considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series (Pfizer or Moderna) or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine (Johnson & Johnson).
More information about the CDC recommendations for Pfizer booster doses is available here.
