Booster Shots Now Available for Older Adults

The FDA has just approved COVID-19 booster shots for people aged 65 years or older. Right now, booster shots are only available to people who received the Pfizer vaccine series. A booster shot is an additional, 3rd shot of the same formula that will increase protection against COVID-19.

As of Friday, many locations in Los Angeles have started to offer Pfizer booster shots. To find out where to receive a booster shot, click here. At this time, booster shots are not available to everyone, or to those who have received either Johnson & Johnson or Moderna vaccines. More information about other booster shots will come soon. For a full list of groups eligible to receive a booster shot, refer to CDC recommendations.
