Now scheduling Pfizer pediatric (ages 5-11) COVID-19 vaccine! The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) have authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5
to 11 years old!
In addition to continuing new vaccinations, Butler and Clarion are now
offering COVID-19 booster vaccinations.
Anyone 12 years of age and older may be eligible for a booster, depending
on how long it has been since previous vaccination.
Vaccine Type for Original Series
Timing
Age
Recommendation
Pfizer
5 months or more since 2nd shot
50 years or older
SHOULD get booster
12 to 50 years
MAY get booster
Moderna
6 months or more since 2nd shot
50 years or older
SHOULD get booster
12 to 50 years
MAY get booster
J&J
2 months or more since shot
12 years and up
SHOULD get booster
People who “should” get a booster are strongly encouraged to
do so, because of their risks of severe illness if infected. For people
who “may” get a booster, the benefits of the booster are significant,
but you may discuss further 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”).
People under 12 are
not eligible for boosters at this time.
If you already received a 3rd dose of Pfizer or Moderna because you are immunocompromised, you should
receive a booster 5 months or more after your 3rd vaccine.
The FDA and CDC have authorized a “mix and match” approach
for boosters. This means that a booster shot does NOT need to be the same
vaccine as you originally received. In particular, people who received
J&J vaccine originally may want to select Moderna or Pfizer vaccine
for their booster.
Butler sites (at Butler Memorial Hospital and at Crossroads Campus) offer
only Pfizer vaccine; our Clarion Hospital site offers Pfizer and Moderna
vaccines at different times. No BHS site offers J&J vaccine.
