What ages are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?

As of November 2, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that individuals ages 5-11 years old be vaccinated against COVID-19 with the Pfizer pediatric vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine is also authorized for people age 12+ and the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are authorized for people age 18+.

What is the difference between a “booster shot” & a “third dose”? Do I qualify?

As of November 18, 2021, all Massachusetts residents aged 18 and over are eligible to get a COVID-19 booster six months after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or two months since receiving a Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) previously approved booster shots. You may choose which COVID-19 vaccine you receive as a booster shot. 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.

Third Doses (for immunocompromised persons) 

• Must be 4 weeks (28+ days) or more after your second vaccine dose of Pfizer or Moderna or two months after your dose of J&J. 
• Only patients who have weakened immune systems due to certain conditions or medications / treatments:
  • Are actively being treated for cancer
  • Have received a solid organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
  • Have received CAR-T cell therapy
  • Have received a stem cell transplant within in the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system after a stem cell transplant
  • Have moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency  (including all patients receiving IVIg or SCIg due to an underlying immune deficiency; patients with other underlying immune deficiencies not receiving IgG replacement can be counseled on a case by case basis)
  • Have advanced (generally defined as a CD4 count of less than 200 or CD4 percentage of 14 or less) or untreated HIV infection
  • Are taking high-dose corticosteroids (i.e. the equivalent of 20 or more milligrams of Prednisone a day)
  • Are getting other drugs that may suppress the immune response (i.e tumor-necrosis blockers or other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory)
