Following the recent recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control, Clermont County Public Health is now offering booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The following populations are eligible to receive a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine:

• People 65 years and older
• Residents in long-term care settings
• People with certain medical conditions including, but not limited to:
  • Cancer
  • Kidney, lung, or heart disease
  • Down syndrome
  • HIV infection
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Solid-organ or stem cell transplant recipient
• People 18 and older who may be at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of their job, or living in an institutional setting

Only people that received two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine may get a booster. A person must wait at least six months after the second dose of the vaccine before getting a booster shot. You do not need to return to the same provider where you received your first two doses. But, you must bring your COVID-19 vaccination card with you.

“We have many more vaccine providers now than we did in the spring, so we encourage everyone to visit our website to find the provider that is most convenient for them,” said Health Commissioner Julianne Nesbit.

All COVID-19 vaccine providers in Clermont County are on Clermont County Public Health’s website at https://ccphohio.org/covid-19-vaccine-info/

Clermont County Public Health is offering vaccine appointments at its office Tuesdays – Fridays. You can make an appointment with the ArmorVax mobile app or online at www.ArmorVax.com. Anyone needing help scheduling an appointment may call the Clermont County Emergency Management Agency at 513-735-8500.
