Are you eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?
As of June 24, 2022 anyone 6 months and older is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine from the Abilene-Taylor County Public Health District Clinics.
- Pfizer BioNTech vaccine is approved for ages 6 months and older.
- Moderna vaccine is approved for ages 6 months and older.
- Novavax vaccine is approved for ages 12 and older as a primary series dose only, and for individuals that have never received a COVID-19 vaccine prior.
Are you eligible for the COVID-19 Booster Vaccine?
On December 9, 2022 the Center for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration expanded the use of updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 6 months through 5 years. Children ages 6 months through 5 years who previously completed a Moderna primary series are eligible to receive a Moderna bivalent booster 2 months after their final primary series dose. Children ages 6 months through 4 years who are currently completing a Pfizer primary series will receive a Pfizer bivalent vaccine as their third primary dose.
On October 12, 2022 the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster emergency use authorization that includes people 12 years and older was expanded to include children ages 5-11 years. The Moderna bivalent booster authorization for those 18 and older has been expanded to include children and adolescents ages 6-17 years.
On September 2, 2022 the Center for Disease Control and Food and Drug Administration authorized bivalent COVID-19 vaccines as a single booster dose only in people who have completed a primary vaccination series. Currently, anyone aged 12 years or older who has completed at least a primary series is eligible for a bivalent booster, regardless of number or type of prior booster doses received so long as at least two months have passed since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose.
Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received and others, may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots, but not for primary series doses. If you have lost your CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card or don’t have a copy, contact your vaccination provider directly to access your vaccination record. Additional information about your COVID-19 vaccine record can be found here.
