Everyone 18+ should get a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot

Get your COVID-19 vaccine booster shot

Even if you're fully vaccinated for COVID-19, it's still important to get your COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. A booster shot increases the strength of your antibody response, so when the COVID-19 virus mutates, a boost makes it more likely that your antibodies can protect you against variants, like Omicron and Delta.

Medicare covers a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot at no cost to you. If you're fully vaccinated, you can get a booster from the same COVID-19 vaccine that you originally got, or choose a different one.

  • If you got a Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you can get a booster shot at least 6 months after you complete your second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine series.
  • If you got a Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, you can get a booster shot at least 2 months after you got your first shot.
