Second COVID-19 Booster Dose Authorized for High-Risk Individuals
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have authorized a second booster dose for individuals who are at the highest risk for severe illness or death from COVID-19. This authorization will provide high-risk individuals another layer of protection against the effects of COVID-19.
Individuals eligible to receive a second booster dose (as identified by the Ohio Department of Health) include:
- People age 50 and older who received an initial mRNA booster dose (Pfizer or Moderna) at least four months ago MAY RECEIVE a second booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. A second booster dose may be most beneficial for people who are age 65 and older, or who are age 50-64 with certain underlying medical conditions.
- People age 12 and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised who received an initial mRNA booster dose (Pfizer or Moderna) at least four months ago MAY RECEIVE a second booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer, age 12+; Moderna, age 18+). This means individuals age 12 years and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised may receive as many as five doses – the recommended three-dose primary series for people who are immunocompromised, plus two booster doses.
- Based on a newly published CDC report, adults who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine at least 4 months ago MAY RECEIVE a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
Eligible individuals should talk to their healthcare providers to assess individual risks and the benefits of another dose in strengthening ongoing protection.
To make an appointment for a booster dose at the Seneca County General Health District, call (419) 447-3691 ext. 6333.

Immunizations
Vaccine-preventable disease levels in the United States are at or near record lows. However, this is not the case around the world. Even though most infants and toddlers in the United States have received all recommended vaccines by age two, many under-immunized children remain, creating the possibility of disease outbreaks.
Children who have not had all their infant immunizations are at risk for getting these diseases from the people who care for them. Many teens and adults are missing the chance to protect not only themselves, but also children under the age of two against deadly diseases such as Hepatitis B, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), influenza, and pneumococcal disease.
Many private insurances, Medicaid and private payments are accepted for Immunization Services. If your appointment will be your first with the Seneca County General Health District, please visit our Immunization Consent Form for Children page to download and complete the necessary forms before you arrive for your appointment.
