Third Dose of COVID-19 Vaccine Available for Moderately to Severely Immunocompromised People at Lane Family Practice

People who are moderately to severely immunocompromised are especially vulnerable to COVID-19 because they are more at risk of serious, prolonged illness. Studies indicate some immunocompromised people don’t always build the same level of immunity after vaccination the way non-immunocompromised people do.

CDC recommends that people with moderately to severely compromised immune systems receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 28 days after a second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

CDC does not recommend additional doses or booster shots for any other population at this time.

If you qualify for a third dose booster shot of the Pfizer vaccine, please call Lane Family Practice to schedule an appointment, 654-3607.
