Following U.S. Federal Drug Administration authorization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has approved a second booster dose of the Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccine for certain individuals at risk for severe illness. Recommendations now include:
- A second booster dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine can be given to individuals 50 years old or older at least 4 months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved Covid-19 vaccine.
- A second booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine can be given to individuals 12 years of age or older at least 4 months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved Covid-19 vaccine if the individual is immunocompromised (solid organ transplant or a condition causing an equivalent level of immunocompromise).
- A second booster dose of Moderna vaccine can be given to individuals 18 years of age or older at least 4 months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved Covid-19 vaccine if the individual is immunocompromised (solid organ transplant or a condition causing an equivalent level of immunocompromise).
