Teens Age 16-17 Now Eligible for a COVID Booster

The CDC announced yesterday that teens age 16 and 17 are now eligible for a COVID booster dose. If your teen received their second dose in the series more than six months ago, they now qualify for a (third) dose of the Pfizer vaccine. 

Only the Pfizer vaccine may be given as the booster dose at this time, whereas patients 18 and older may receive either a Pfizer or Moderna booster per the CDC.  

Booster vaccines (and dose 1 and 2 vaccines) are available at our Downers Grove clinic. Schedule online or simply walk-in for an appointment.
