INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Indiana State Department of Health announced Friday that booster shots of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine are now available to eligible Hoosiers following federal authorization of the additional dose.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Thursday recommended the administration of a booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine to counter waning immunity in specific populations. Previously, the Food and Drug Administration had authorized a third dose for immunocompromised individuals who did not build protection from the vaccine.
The single booster dose can be administered at least six months after completion of the second dose and applies only to individuals who previously received the Pfizer vaccine. Individuals who received the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccines are not eligible at this time.
Eligible Hoosiers who want a booster dose can go here to search for a site that has the Pfizer vaccine.
