Indiana offering COVID-19 vaccine boosters to Hoosiers aged 18 and older following FDA, CDC authorization

Indianapolis, Indiana (November 19, 2021) — The Indiana Department of Health announced today that any Hoosier aged 18 or older can now receive a booster dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines so long as they received their second dose at least six months ago.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Friday approved the administration of a booster dose of both vaccines for people aged 18 and older following the FDA’s decision to expand its Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for boosters. Previously, the FDA had approved a third dose for immunocompromised individuals and had allowed boosters for individuals who met certain criteria.

Individuals may still choose which COVID-19 vaccine to receive as a booster shot. Some people may prefer the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different booster. Individuals who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine are eligible for a booster two months or more after their initial dose.

Hoosiers aged 18 and older who want to obtain a booster dose should go to https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/vaccine/ or call 211 for assistance finding a location.
