- Moderna: 1st booster shot for ages 18 and older 5 months after your 2nd dose; 2nd booster shot for ages 50 and older 4 months after your 1st booster.
- J&J: For ages 18 and older 2 months after your 1st dose; mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are preferred for booster shots

After Vaccination
Continue to wear a mask when indoors with unvaccinated people from more than one household or when attending crowded, outdoor events. Fully vaccinated people should also continue wearing a mask and practice physical distancing when visiting unvaccinated people who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease. You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after you have received your second dose in a two-dose series, or one dose of a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. (Pfizer and Moderna are both 2-dose vaccines and Johnson & Johnson is a single dose vaccine.) You are considered up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccinations when you have completed the primary series or shot and you have received your booster (once you are eligible).
Fully vaccinated people can:
- Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.
- Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are all at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease, indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.

- Take precautions in public and when visiting unvaccinated people including:
