- If you are age 18 and older: You may schedule to receive any vaccine that is available: Pfizer (2 doses, 21 days apart), Moderna (2 doses, 28 days apart) or Johnson & Johnson (1 dose only).
- If you are age 16-17: You may ONLY schedule to receive Pfizer (2 doses, 21 days apart) at this time. You are not old enough to receive the other manufacturers!
- Everyone: Your Covid-19 vaccine must be administered at least 14 days before or at least 14 days after any other vaccines. This is especially important if you are receiving Pfizer or Moderna Covid-19 vaccines that require 2 doses to complete the series. If you have any questions, please call us to discuss!
