Booster and Third Dose of COVID Vaccine

Booster Dose: 

  • The ECDOH will vaccinate anyone age 16 and older with a COVID-19 booster dose as long as it has been 6 months after their 2nd dose of Pfizer or Moderna or 2 months after their single dose of J&J). We encourage people to review the recommended booster eligibility criteria, evaluate their risk factors and talk to their own physician with questions.
  • CDC recommendations now allow individuals to choose which type of vaccine they receive as a booster dose.
  • Individuals under 18 years of age must have a parent/legal guardian give consent (In-person, verbal by phone or in writing by using the COVID-19 Consent for Vaccination of Minors Form for Ages 12-17).
  • If you require a special accommodation, please contact the Office for People with Disabilities at 716-858-6215 at least 48 hours prior to your appointment.
