COVID-19 Vaccine Third Dose vs. Booster Dose
Here is a rundown from the CDC that outlines the COVID-19 booster recommendations. Here is a summary of third-dose recommendations.
Third Dose
The CDC recommends individuals who are immunocompromised receive a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines at least 28 days after completing their second dose. This includes people who have:
- Recently received or are currently receiving cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood.
- Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system.
- Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system.
- Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
- Advanced or untreated HIV infection.
- Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response.
Booster Dose
A booster dose is different than a third dose of the vaccine. Bivalent boosters are the recommended type to receive. Please refer to the CDC's booster recommendations for the latest guidance on booster doses and timing.
Mixing-and-matching: Individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received and others, may prefer to get a different booster. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
