COVID Booster Shots
Everyone 18+ years who is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is eligible for a booster.
When?
At least 2 months after a 1-dose vaccine, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen
or
At least 6 months after a 2-dose vaccine, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna
Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received and others, may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
Not all types of vaccines will be available at all sites. For information about COVID vaccines or to schedule a vaccination appointment visit dph.ga.gov/covid-vaccine or vaccinefinder.org.
DPH continues to stress the importance of vaccination for all Georgians aged 5 years and older. Vaccination is our best tool to protect lives and stop the spread of COVID-19 in our state.
