COVID-19 vaccines have safely protected millions of people from getting very sick, hospitalized, or dying from COVID-19. The protection you gain from the vaccine is less risky than getting COVID.
The Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson Vaccines are all available in Los Alamos. Each follows a unique timeline, so it is important to remember which type of vaccine you receive and when. Adults 18 and older can get any brand of vaccine as their booster shot. For the best protection, it is recommended to get either Pfizer or Moderna. Children cannot mix and match vaccines and must get Pfizer as their booster dose.
If you are age 50 or older, you can choose to get a second booster. If you are immunocompromised, you might need extra doses. Take a look at the included image to view a timeline for each vaccine, or visit the CDC page to learn how to stay up-to-date here: https://www.cdc.gov/.../201.../vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html
