COVID-19 boosters

The CDC has approved booster shots for anyone age 5+ (Pfizer) and 18+ (Moderna, J&J).
Appointments are required.

Who is eligible?

Indoors?
Mask up.

If you’re going shopping, or heading to a restaurant, theater or other indoor area, wear a mask over your nose and mouth — even if you’re vaccinated.

Sick?
Get tested.

This is not the time to self-diagnose whether you have the cold or COVID. If you experience any symptoms, get a COVID test, and stay home until you’re better.

Events?
Try outside.

It’s the best time of year to be outdoors in New England. If you’re planning a gathering, stay outside where the virus transmits less easily.

Your best shot? Get the shot.

Getting vaccinated is, by far, the best way to prevent yourself from needing to be hospitalized or risking death by getting COVID. The vaccines are highly effective.

Skeptical?
Face the facts.

Vaccination protects you against the most severe symptoms of COVID. You are much more likely to get sick and need to be hospitalized if you’re unvaccinated.

Confused?
