Additional or booster dose
IMPORTANT
Effective February 14, 2023, the recommended interval between additional booster doses (4th dose and above) of the COVID-19 vaccine has changed. Here are the details about this change:
- People who are at risk of developing complications from COVID-19 but have never had the disease are recommended to receive an additional booster dose (4th or higher dose) every 6 months for as long as they have not contracted the virus.
- Anyone who is 5 years of age or older and has had COVID-19 can receive an additional booster dose within 6 months of the last dose or after they last had the disease.
For example, a person who received an additional dose of vaccine in January but gets COVID-19 in March will have to wait 6 months after the end of the illness before receiving another dose of vaccine.
