The current booster recommendations are:
For Individuals who received the Moderna vaccine the following groups are eligible for a booster shot:

- Everyone 18+ at 5 months or more after their initial series.
For individuals who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine the following groups are eligible for a booster shot:
- Severely immunocompromised at 1 month or more after their initial series.
- Everyone 12+ at 5 months or more after their initial series.
For individuals who received a J&J vaccine booster shots are recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago. This means that all individuals who received a J&J vaccine should receive a booster.
Mixing & Matching (heterologous series): Both the FDA and CDC support individuals to receive a booster dose that is a different vaccine type than they originally received for their primary series if they choose. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
