Butler Health System will offer the second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine
as outlined below.
On 3/29/22, the FDA authorized a second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine
for certain individuals based on their risks for severe illness. The CDC
quickly added recommendations with this authorization.
People who received mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna, or some combination)
for primary series are eligible to receive a second booster shot 4 months
or longer after their first booster shot
if they meet one of these criteria:
Age 50 years or older
Moderate to severe immunocompromise
This means that immunocompromised individuals should receive a total of
five (5) doses of mRNA vaccine – 3 for primary series, followed
by two boosters.
People who received J&J vaccine should receive a second booster with
an mRNA vaccine 4 months or longer after their first booster. This is
recommended for all people who received J&J,
regardless of age or immune status. Keep in mind that immunocompromised people who received J&J should
get an mRNA vaccine 4 weeks or more after their J&J shot.
To summarize current recommendations:
If you are unsure if you should receive a 2nd booster shot, please discuss
with your healthcare provider.
Note that you
will be turned away from receiving a booster if you
do not meet the time requirement from your previous dose (don’t come early
or “round up”) or meet eligibility.
BHS offers only the Pfizer vaccine.
