Clarification for Booster Doses
In response to several queries, the Vaccine Immunization Task Force is clarifying the guidance for individuals aged 18 to ≤ 59 years of age who request a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine prior to 6 months after their second dose.
The recommended interval for most individuals aged 18 to ≤ 59 years of age remains 6 months following second dose. However, we do not want individuals who are close to 6 months post second-dose to be turned away. Please be advised that individuals aged 18 to ≤ 59 years of age may be given a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine anytime beginning 5 months following their second dose. If an individual presents prior to 5 months following their second dose, they should be advised to return once a minimum of 5 months have elapsed.
