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.
• Use CDC’s COVID-19 booster tool to learn if and when you can get boosters to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines.
• You may also be eligible for Evusheld, a medicine given by your healthcare provider to help prevent you from getting COVID-19.
• 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.
