As of Wednesday, the Hamilton County Health Department will begin administering COVID-19 booster shots for anyone age 18 years of age or older, due to expanded CDC guidance.
Per that guidance, adults who received their second Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at least six months ago are eligible to receive a booster shot.
Those who received a J&J/Jansen COVID-19 vaccine at least two months ago should get a booster shot, for a total of two shots.
Please bring your COVID-19 Vaccination Record card when receiving your booster shot and be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes after the vaccine is administered. Masks must be worn while getting your booster.
