COVID-19 Vaccines
Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine is a one dose series. Both Pfizer and Moderna are a two dose series. Pfizer second dose is given 21 days after the
first dose. Moderna second dose is given 28 days after the first dose. You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after completing the series.
COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, continue to be highly effective in reducing risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
Some people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will still get sick because no vaccine is 100% effective; these are called breakthrough cases.
Pfizer vaccine is available to people who were vaccinated outside U.S. or part of a clinical trial.

Additional and Booster Doses
Booster doses and additional doses serve different purposes for different groups of people.
An additional dose is recommended for people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised, because they may not have built adequate protection after
the initial series. Eligible individuals can get an additional dose, as long as at least 28 days have passed since completing the initial two dose vaccine
series of Pfizer or Moderna.
A booster dose helps boost the immune system for better, longer lasting protection after the strong, initial protection decreases over time. Everyone 18 years
and older that received Pfizer or Moderna vaccine may receive a booster if they received the second dose of the series at least 6 months ago.
