CVS Health announced that, following authorization from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based on guidance from the organization's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, select CVS Pharmacy locations are now offering the Moderna COVID-19 booster shot to eligible populations beginning October 22, in addition to the previously authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 booster. The CDC also recommends a booster shot for that patients who received the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine and are 18 and older were vaccinated two or more months ago. Based on new guidance provided by the CDC, eligible patients may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different booster. The CDC's recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots. Patients interested in receiving a COVID-19 booster or their initial vaccine series are strongly encouraged to make an appointment at CVS.com or the CVS App to secure a convenient time and location. Patients may also conveniently schedule a flu vaccine at the same time as their COVID-19 vaccine when scheduling on-line. CDC guidance allows for administration of any of the currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as the flu vaccine. When scheduling an appointment on CVS.com, patients will be asked to provide the manufacturer and date of their last COVID-19 vaccine and will be able to schedule an appointment for a Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech booster dose if they have had two previous doses with the same vaccine at least six months prior, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine at least two months prior. Per guidance from the CDC, patients will be asked to self-attest to their eligibility as defined by the eligibility guidelines, to help reduce barriers to access for these select populations. With the authorization of the Moderna COVID-19 booster dose, more than 9,800 CVS Pharmacy locations are now able to offer COVID-19 booster shots to eligible populations. Each participating CVS Pharmacy location is offering either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine.
