All tagged booster shots
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends anyone 18 years or older who received the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine get a booster six months after their second dose to help strengthen and extend protections against COVID-19. This comes after the Food and Drug Administration authorized the boosters for such use today.
Greene County Department of Public Health will start offering Moderna booster shots this week. Appointments will be required and can be made by calling the Greene County Department of Public Health at (252) 747-8181. When you call to make your appointment, please be prepared to tell us what kind of COVID vaccine dose you received (Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson) and the date you received your last dose of COVID vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are now available for more North Carolinians. The Food and Drug Administration has authorized, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 booster shots to help strengthen and extend protections against COVID-19 infections.
To strengthen and extend protections against severe illness, North Carolinians at high risk for serious illness or exposure, and who have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech (COMINARTY) vaccine for six months or more, can now receive a COVID-19 booster shot.
