Missourians who received the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine can receive a

booster shot at least five months after their initial series based on CDC guidance.

​

Individuals with an underlying medical condition are encouraged to speak with their healthcare

provider about whether a booster shot is right for them.

​

Individuals do not need to get their booster shot at the same location they received their initial series.

Flu vaccines are now available, and it is recommended annually for everyone 6 months and older. 

 

Research shows that all COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States continue to be

highly effective at preventing severe illness and death. Individuals should only get

a booster shot when it is recommended, not earlier.
