COVID Boosters Available for More of the Population

But we are not able to give them at Progressive Health

The CDC recently opened up Boosters for Moderna and Pfizer for the following groups:

• 65 years and older

• Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings

• Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions

• Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings

The Pfizer vaccine is a full dose. The Moderna vaccine is half of the original dose. It was also recommended for anyone that received Johnson and Johnson, to get a booster if it has been over 2 months.

Currently, our office is not able to provide Booster vaccines. We have been short staffed recently and are training new employees. We also are still running our Flu Vaccine Clinics on Tuesday mornings 10-11am and Thursday afternoons 2-3pm (drive thru, behind our building. No appointment is needed). It is unclear at this time when we will offer COVID vaccines. Here is the website to find COVID vaccines near you:
