Booster Shots
Revised: September 19, 2022
Updated booster shots are available to anyone 12 and older who had their
last COVID-19 shot at least two months ago. A booster shot is also available
to anyone ages 5-11 who had their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine
at least 5 months ago.
We strongly encourage all eligible people to get a booster shot. The updated
booster is designed to specifically target current strains of the infectious
Omicron variant. It provides new protection that may have decreased since
your previous COVID-19 vaccine.
You can find a vaccine location near you by visiting
ourshot.in.gov and clicking “Click here to find a vaccination site" near the top
of the page. Many locations offer walk-in vaccine opportunities.
Can I mix-and-match my booster shot?
Yes, if you are eligible for a vaccine booster, you can choose which vaccine
you get. The only eligible booster shots are the Pfizer and Moderna boosters.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Should I get the COVID-19 vaccine if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines for all people who are pregnant, breastfeeding
or trying to get pregnant now or in the future.
The CDC also says pregnant people with COVID-19 have an
increased risk of severe illness compared with non-pregnant people. Pregnant people with COVID-19 also
might be at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm
birth, compared with pregnant individuals without COVID-19. There is no
evidence that fertility problems are a side effect of any vaccine, including
COVID-19 vaccines.
I am breastfeeding or plan to be soon. Will the COVID-19 vaccine affect
the safety of my breast milk?
The
Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine and the
Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine report that there is no reason to believe that these vaccines affect the
safety of breast milk. The COVID-19 vaccines do not contain the virus,
so there is no risk of infecting your baby. Both the Pfizer and Moderna
vaccines contain mRNA, but because mRNA is fragile, it is very unlikely
that any part of the vaccine gets into breast milk.
When we have an infection or get a vaccine, our bodies make antibodies
to fight the infection. Antibodies can pass into breast milk and then
to the baby, and may help prevent infections.
COVID-19 Vaccine Safety
Are the COVID-19 vaccines safe?
Yes, the vaccines are safe and effective. The FDA carefully reviews all
safety data from clinical trials and authorizes emergency vaccine use
only when the expected benefits outweigh potential risks. Vaccines must
complete three phases of testing through clinical trials involving thousands
of patients to receive Emergency Use Authorization.
The clinical trials included tens of thousands of people across gender,
age, race and ethnicity. The Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson
vaccines showed effective results with only mild to moderate side effects.
The data was also made public. This allowed our team of experts to review
the results, confirming it is safe.
Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Stopping a pandemic requires using all the tools we have available. The
combination of getting vaccinated and following CDC’s recommendations
to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from COVID-19.
Getting a vaccine is important for your own health because it will help
keep you from getting COVID-19, and a vaccine is a safer way to help build
protection against the virus.
Why should my child get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Children are still at risk, and it’s hard to predict which kids infected
with COVID-19 will develop severe symptoms that could lead to missing
school or, in rare cases, hospitalization. Research on the Pfizer COVID-19
vaccine in children ages 5 through 11 has shown that it is safe; no new
safety problems were found in the studies.
