  What You Need to Know
  
  • If you are moderately or severely immunocompromised (have a weakened immune system), you are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness and death.
  
  • Additionally, your immune response to COVID-19 vaccination may not be as strong as in people who are not immunocompromised.
  
  • As with vaccines for other diseases, you are protected best when you stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines as described below.
  
  • You can self-attest to your moderately or severely immunocompromised status. This means that you do not need any documentation of your status in order to receive COVID-19 vaccine doses wherever they are offered
