Vaccine recommendations are different depending on your age, the vaccine you first received, and time since last dose. CDC has COVID-19 vaccine recommendations people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised based on those factors.

For primary series vaccination, people should receive an age-appropriateCOVID-19 vaccine: Moderna, Novavax or Pfizer-BioNTech. For booster vaccination, CDC recommends eligible people age 5 and older receive an age-appropriate, updated Pfizer or Moderna vaccine that offers better protection against variants. The monovalent Novavax booster and the Johnson & Johnson primary and booster vaccinations are authorized for people 18 and older in limited situations.

A patient’s clinical team is best positioned to determine the appropriate timing of vaccination. The recommended COVID-19 vaccination schedule from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has guidance based on age and medical condition.
