The CDC recommends everyone stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, including all primary series doses and boosters for their age group. Individuals age 5 and up should receive a booster dose of COVID vaccine.

Monovalent booster doses are no longer authorized for patients aged 12 and older. Those individuals are recommended to receive a a bivalent COVID booster if they have completed their initial COVID series at least 2 months prior OR if they have received a booster dose at least 2 months prior. Patients (aged 5-11 years of age) who received a Pfizer COVID vaccine series may receive a booster dose of the pediatric vaccine at least 5 months since their series was completed.

Per the CDC, you are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine when you receive all doses in the primary series and all boosters recommended for you, when eligible.

Currently, if you are 12+, only bivalent COVID booster vaccinations are approved. Regardless which type of vaccine you received for your initial COVID-19 vaccination series, if you are ages 18+, you may ‘mix and match’ either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines as a booster dose; if you are aged 12-18, you may receive Pfizer bivalent COVID vaccine as a booster dose. Ask your local Lewis Drug pharmacist for details regarding each manufacturer.

Yes, it is free. There is no cost to you, insured or uninsured, to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Pharmacists at Lewis Drug pharmacy locations are authorized by the PrepAct to administer vaccinations for patients ages 3 years and older.
