FDA Authorizes a Booster Dose for Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine - What You Need
to Know

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently authorized a third
booster shot for people who received the Pfizer vaccine to increase the
immune response to Covid-19.

In order to receive the Pfizer booster:

   - You completed your first series of Pfizer vaccines 6 months ago; and
   - You are 65 years of age and older; or
   - You are an individual 18 through 64 years of age and are at high risk
   of severe COVID-19; or
   - You are between 18 through 64 years of age and whose frequent
   institutional or occupational exposure (which includes but not limited to
   healthcare workers, teachers, grocery workers, bus drivers, day care staff,
   homeless shelters, prisons, people with mental illness and IDD) to
   SARS-CoV-2 puts you high risk of serious complications of COVID-19
   including severe COVID-19.

As more information becomes available about the vaccine’s effectiveness, it
is important we stay safe and up to date. Talk to your doctor about
receiving your Pfizer booster shot. If you received Moderna or the Johnson
and Johnson vaccines, you are not eligible to receive a booster at this
time.

If you need assistance with receiving your booster shot, please contact
Disability Rights NJ.
