Possible severe symptoms include shortness of breath, persistent stomach pain, severe or persistent headache, blurred vision, chest pain, leg swelling, easy bruising, and tiny red spots on the skin. Research suggests there isn’t an increased risk for this disorder after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Nearly all of those affected have been women ages 18 to 49.Īs a result, the CDC recommends getting an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine over getting the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Use of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine might increase the risk of a rare and serious blood clotting disorder. Note: If you received this vaccine within the last three weeks and are experiencing any unexplained new severe symptoms, seek emergency care.

If you are 12 to 17 and have a weakened immune system, had all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, and it’s been at least two months since the additional shot, you can only get an updated, or bivalent, booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

People with weakened immune systems might not develop enough immunity after vaccination with two doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC recommends an additional primary shot of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (at least 28 days after the second dose) for some people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had an organ transplant. Two doses are needed for ages 6 months through age 17, four to eight weeks apart Two doses are needed for ages 18 and up, 28 days apart (or up to six weeks apart, if needed) in the U.S. People age 18 and older who have a weakened immune system and have had all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine can get a bivalent booster dose of either of the mRNA COVID-19 bivalent boosters at least two months after the last shot. People age 12 to 17 who have a weakened immune system and have had all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine can get an updated, or bivalent, booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at least two months after the last shot. Kids ages 5 through 11 who have a weakened immune system should get a monovalent Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine booster shot if they have been given both doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and it’s been at least three months since the additional primary shot. People who are ages 18 and older who have had all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine may get either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA COVID-19 bivalent booster at least two months after their last shot. People age 12 to 17 who had all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine can only get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 updated, or bivalent, booster at least two months after their last shot. Kids can get a booster if it's been at least five months since the last COVID-19 vaccine shot. ![]() Kids age 5 through 11 can get a Pfizer-BioNTech booster dose based off the original viral strain, called a monovalent booster. The CDC recommends an additional primary shot of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (at least 28 days after the second dose) for some people age 5 and older with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had an organ transplant. Some protection provided after the first dose Three doses are needed for age 6 months through age 4, with the first two shots given 3 to 8 weeks apart and the third shot at least eight weeks after the second shot Two doses are needed, 21 days apart (or up to six weeks apart, if needed) in the U.S. ![]()
