Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved the COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all adults. Individuals 18 years and older who received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (first two doses) are eligible for a single booster shot at least 6 months or more after their initial series. For individuals who received the Johnson and Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, single booster shots are also available for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.
“We are pleased to hear the CDC has approved the COVID-19 boosters for all adults. We urge everyone to get their boosters. What this virus has proven is that we all must collectively work together and protect each other. The booster shot is another layer to protect ourselves and our community from the virus and its variants,” said Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) Director Arthur U. San Agustin.

SPECIAL NOTE: Based on today's data, if we were to compare two (2) hypothetical populations of 100,000 people each, vaccinated versus unvaccinated, there would be 8 vaccinated people hospitalized for COVID-19 compared to 36 unvaccinated people hospitalized for COVID- 19. The risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is about 5 times higher for the unvaccinated as compared to the vaccinated. *Estimated population is based on DPHSS Immunization Program analysis of 2020 Census data. Updates are expected pending further Census 2020 data breakdown.
