Alameda County aligns with CDC recommendation on Second Boosters
|
|
|
Alameda County supports recommendations for a second booster for everyone 50+, severely immune-compromised people 12+, and all
Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients who have already had one booster dose. However, second boosters are not yet authorized for other populations. Contact your health care provider or local chain pharmacy for your booster. Second boosters are available to eligible populations at County-supported sites. We
continue to prioritize the unvaccinated, immunocompromised, and first boosters for appointments. Second booster doses are only available on a walk-up basis.
