Many Philadelphia residents who have been vaccinated against COVID are eligible to get a booster dose, according to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health.

The following groups who received the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least six months ago are recommended to receive a booster dose:

• People who are 65+ years old or those who live in a nursing home.

• People between 18 and 64 years old with underlying medical conditions that may put them at risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19 or those who work in higher risk jobs, like healthcare workers, teachers or in other higher-risk institutional or occupational settings.

All people who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine at least two months ago are eligible for a booster dose.

People who are eligible for a booster dose can receive one of any brand of vaccine, according to the CDC guidelines. For example, people who received the J & J vaccine, can get a Pfizer or Moderna booster.

Over 44,000 booster doses have been administered in Philadelphia since Aug. 13.
