Description:Updated Dec. 3, 2021
• If you receive a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you will need 2 initial shots to complete the primary series.
• CDC does not recommend mixing products for a two dose primary vaccine series or an additional primary dose. If you received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, you should get the same product when you need a second shot or additional primary dose. However, mixing and matching COVID-19 vaccines is allowed for booster shots.
• You should get your second shot even if you have side effects after the first shot, unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get it.
• If you have a weakened immune system due to other diseases or medications, you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine if you have not had a severe allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the vaccine.
• People with moderately or severely compromised immune systems ages 12 years and older who completed their Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine primary series and ages 18 years or older who completed their Moderna COVID-19 vaccine primary series should get an additional primary dose followed by a booster shot.
• Everyone age 18 years and older who received both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine should get a booster shot.
