You can’t make an appointment to receive another type of vaccine in your primary vaccine series, but most vaccination clinics allow walkup appointments, or you can request a different type of vaccine onsite, if available. Be sure to take the physician’s order with you, but please know it is up to the clinic to decide if it will honor the order.

There are now booster recommendations for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States. Fully vaccinated individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose if they are eligible. 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. Bring your COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card to your appointment.
