COVID-19 booster dose update

(En espanol) Same-day appointments for COVID-19 vaccines, including all boosters, are available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in our Public Health Clinic at 650 Newtown Pike. Call 859-288-2483 to schedule your appointment.

Moderna

The booster can be given 6 months after you received your second dose of the Moderna vaccine. 

Pfizer

We also continue to provide the Pfizer booster for the same groups listed for the Moderna booster. 

The booster can be given 6 months after you received your second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. More information about the Pfizer booster can be found at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html.

Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)

Free booster doses of the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 vaccine are available by same-day appointment for everyone who received the J&J vaccine at least two months ago. 

Third Dose for Immunocompromised

In addition, immunocompromised individuals – for example, people who are undergoing cancer treatment or who are taking a high dose of an immunosuppressant – a third shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine is recommended at least 28 days after the second shot.

Boosters are for people who got the first and second dose of the Pfizer vaccine whose protection has waned over time. The third doses are for immunocompromised people whose immune systems were not able to fully respond to the initial doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

First and Second Doses

Anyone who has yet to receive their first dose or second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine can also call to schedule their same-day appointment. Our Public Health Clinic offers the Moderna and Janssen vaccines for ages 18 and older and the Pfizer vaccine for ages 12 and older.
