The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has authorized COVID-19 booster doses for all fully vaccinated individuals ages 16 and older. Everyone ages 16 and older is eligible for Pfizer vaccine boosters at six or more months after their primary regimen. Everyone aged 18 and older is eligible for Moderna vaccine boosters at six or more months after their primary regimen. Everyone agesd 18 and older who received a first Johnson & Johnson dose is eligible at least two months after completing the single-dose primary regimen.

Adults 18 and older may receive any authorized COVID-19 vaccine booster.

“As a federally qualified health center, the VNACJ CHC’s efforts to increase vaccination accessibility and awareness have remained central to the state’s vaccination strategy — yet there’s still work to be done across the state,” said Dr. Terry Shlimbaum, Chief Medical Officer of the VNACJ Community Health Center. “The emergence of the Omicron variant, as well as the persistence of the Delta variant, demonstrates the importance of being vaccinated against COVID-19. We remain grateful for the state’s continued efforts in administering vaccines and we encourage any resident eligible for their booster shot to take advantage of our Boost NJ event to receive their booster dose.”
