Pfizer Booster Dose Scheduling (5-11)
This week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized and the CDC recommended a single booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 5 through 11 years of age. We are now awaiting necessary approval from the CDC which may occur later this week. Texas Children's will communicate and begin providing booster vaccines to 5 -11 year olds after this approval is provided.

Moderna booster shots are available for individuals who are fully vaccinated and five months have passed since receiving a second dose.

Pfizer Additional Dose Scheduling for immunocompromised persons (5 - 11 years old)
Pfizer additional vaccine dose is available for children who are fully vaccinated with a Pfizer vaccine, and 28 days have passed since receiving a second dose:
- Children 5 - 11 years of age and are considered immune compromised (from a medical condition or treatment).
Pfizer Additional Dose Scheduling for immunocompromised persons (12 years and over)
Pfizer additional vaccine dose is available for adolescents/adults who are fully vaccinated with a Pfizer vaccine, and 28 days have passed since receiving a second dose:
- Adolescents/adults 12 years of age and older and are considered immune compromised (from a medical condition or treatment).
Moderna Additional Doses Scheduling for immunocompromised persons (18 years and over)
Moderna additional vaccine dose is available for individuals who are fully vaccinated with a Moderna vaccine, and 28 days have passed since receiving a second dose:

Johnson & Johnson Booster Scheduling (18 years and older)
Must be fully vaccinated and two months have passed since receiving the primary dose:

Please note that the FDA and CDC have now allowed “mix and match” products between the primary dose(s) and booster dose, meaning that individuals may receive a different booster dose than the brand they were initially fully vaccinated with.
Therefore, although Texas Children’s does not administer the Johnson & Johnson booster, individuals who received the Johnson & Johnson primary doses are able to receive a Pfizer or Moderna booster dose, per CDC and FDA recommendations.
