Important update on COVID-19 vaccine booster shots

Good news! If you're 65 or older and you're fully vaccinated for COVID-19, you can get a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot. You can also get a booster shot if you're over 18 and have underlying medical conditions, live in a long-term care facility, or work or live in a high-risk setting.

Booster shots are now available for the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

You can get a booster shot at least 6 months after you complete your second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Or, you can get a booster shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least 2 months after your first dose.

The booster shot can help strengthen and prolong your protection against COVID-19. Visit CDC.gov for more information.

Remember: Medicare covers a COVID-19 vaccine booster shot at no cost to you.

Sincerely,

The Medicare Team
