COVID-19 Vaccines


- • The CDC has the following recommendations for staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine, including boosters:
- • Children ages 6 months through 5 years who previously completed a Moderna primary series are eligible to receive a Moderna bivalent booster 2 months after their final primary series dose.
- • Children ages 6 months through 4 years who are currently completing a Pfizer primary series will receive a Pfizer bivalent vaccine as their third primary dose.
- • CDC recommends that people ages 5 years and older receive one updated (bivalent) booster if it has been at least 2 months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose, whether that was:
- - Their final primary series dose, or
- - An original (monovalent) booster
- • People who have gotten more than one original (monovalent) booster are also recommended to get an updated (bivalent) booster.
- • People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters.
- • COVID-19 vaccine and booster recommendations may be updated as CDC continues to monitor the latest data.
Mixing COVID-19 Vaccine Products
For your initial COVID-19 primary series, the CDC does not recommend mixing vaccine products. If you received Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax for the first dose of your primary series, you should get the same product for all following primary series doses.
Booster Doses
- • People ages 5 years and older may get a different product for a booster than they got for their primary series. The only approved boosters are the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent boosters.
- • The original monovalent mRNA booster is no longer available.
