Edit: On November 29, 2021, The CDC updated recommendations stating everyone 18 years or older should get a booster vaccine.

Currently, all three vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson) are available at HealthWise Pharmacy. You do not need an appointment for a vaccine. They are available in the Skills Lab across from the pharmacy 4-6pm and 12pm-5pm in the Healthwise pharmacy Monday-Friday. Flu shots are also available, along with booster vaccines.

The CDC recently authorized COVID-19 booster vaccines for certain groups. 

If someone received the 2 part series Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, they are eligible for a booster vaccine if they are 

  • Over 65 years of age 
  • Over 18 years of age and live in a long term care setting 
  • Over 18 years of age and have a underlying medical condition such as cancer, diabetes, or COPD etc 
  • Over 18 years of age and work of live in a high risk setting such as healthcare workers, educators, or food and agriculture workers 
  • And received the 2nd dose of the vaccine at least 6 months prior 

If someone received the single dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine, they are eligible for a booster vaccine if they are 

  • Over 18 years of age 
  • And received the first dose 2 months prior 

The CDC’s recommendations now allow for mix and match dosing for booster shots.
