Dear Educator or School Staff Member:
COVID-19 vaccine boosters are now available for all vaccine brands AND you may now receive a booster of a brand different from your original vaccine.
Everyone who received Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine at least 2 months ago is eligible for a booster.
You may get a booster if you received the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech OR Moderna vaccine at least 6 months ago AND you are:
- 65 years and older OR
- 18 or older and have underlying medical conditions OR
- 18 or older and live in a long-term care setting or a high-risk setting OR
- 18 or older and work in a high-risk setting, including teachers.
If you have questions about whether you should receive a booster, please consult with your personal health care provider.
A booster is available from your local pharmacy, your health care provider, by appointment or on a walk-in basis at one of Salt Lake County Health Department’s five immunization clinics, or via one of three community vaccination sites offered by Community Nursing Services (CNS).
If you don’t know which vaccine you initially received, your vaccine’s brand is listed on your vaccination record card. If you don’t have your vaccination record card, request your personal immunization record via one of the methods listed on the Salt Lake County Health Department’s immunization webpage under “Records.”
Thank you,
Salt Lake County Health Department
