Booster Shots

At this time, all three COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer-NBioTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the prevention of COVID-19 in adults. Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. The Pfizer-NBioTech is approved for children. 

FAQs

Who is eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot?

Individuals 5+ are eligible to receive a booster and some people are eligible for 2 boosters. See the CDC website for the most up-to-date information about COVID-19 booster shots. 

 


 

Can I “mix and match” the COVID-19 primary series and booster shot I receive?

The FDA and CDC have now approved the “mixing and matching” of COVID-19 primary series and booster shots meaning that eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. The availability of type of vaccine may vary by provider. 

What are the risks associated with getting a booster shot?

Similar to the primary series of COVID-19 vaccines, some people experience short-term mild or moderate vaccine reactions that resolve quickly including pain at the site of the injection. Others may develop systemic reactions like headache, chills, fatigue, muscle pain or fever lasting for a day or two. Keep in mind these side effects are indicators that your immune system is responding to the vaccine and are common when receiving any vaccine. 

Am I still considered “fully vaccinated” if I don’t get a booster shot?

Yes. Everyone is considered to be fully vaccinated two weeks following their second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Why do I need a booster shot?

While COVID-19 vaccines are working well to protect against severe illness, hospitalization, and death, public health experts are beginning to see reduced protection likely due to waning immunity and the emergence of new variants. Clinical trials showed that a booster shot increased the immune response of participants.

Where can I get a booster shot?

COVID-19 booster shots are readily available through pharmacies and health care partners across the city. All three COVID-19 vaccines are free to all Denver residents and no insurance or identification are required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. More information about the COVID-19 vaccine is available on our Get A Vaccine website, or you can text your ZIP code to GETVAX (438829) in English, or VACUNA (822862) in Spanish, to get the contact information of three nearby locations with available vaccines
