COVID-19 vaccines are also available at medical provider offices and local pharmacies. Anyone seeking general immunization information, or a COVID-19 vaccine, can contact the Oswego County Health Department at 315-349-3547.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and New York State Department of Health (DOH) recommend individuals remain up to date on COVID-19 vaccines, which now include second booster doses for certain individuals.
Second booster doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for individuals aged 50 and older and individuals aged 12 and older who have certain immunocompromised conditions. Anyone receiving their second booster dose must be at least four months removed from their first booster shot.
Anyone aged 18 or older who received the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine as both primary shot and booster dose is also eligible for a second booster dose with the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, regardless of health status, four months after their first booster dose was administered.
All second booster doses must be Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines at this time. For more information about booster doses, visit https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html[1].
