Booster Shot Announcement
We are getting a lot of questions regarding booster doses and when they will be available. The short answer is: boosters are not available yet. We still have several steps to go in the process before booster doses are authorized in Washington state. As soon as this process is complete and boosters are available locally, we will let you know.
Longer answer: he CDC issued recommendations for Pfizer booster doses for certain groups at increased risk. These recommendations still need to be reviewed by the Western States Scientific Safety Review Work Group before providers in Washington state can administer booster doses. That group is meeting today. After that, the Washington State Dept of Health will provide guidance for counties to follow regarding implementing boosters locally.
Once the entire process is complete and boosters become fully authorized, the recommendation will be for a booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least 6 months after the second dose for these groups:
• People 65 and older
• Residents in long-term care facilities
• People 50-64 years old with underlying medical conditions
• People 18-49 years old with certain underlying medical conditions
• People 18-64 years old who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of their occupation
Third doses (which are different than booster doses), are currently authorized for a small subsection of the population who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.
