COVID Vaccine Workshop Page

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have authorized and recommended booster vaccine shots to those who have been fully vaccinated with the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.

Additionally, individuals are now able to receive any brand of COVID-19 vaccine for their booster shot.

Whether or not you should get a booster dose depends upon the vaccine you received previously, and your age, medical conditions and occupational risk.

Pfizer and Moderna

For individuals who received a Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at 6 months or more after their initial series:

Those who are immunocompromised are still eligible for a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

 

Johnson & Johnson

All 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago may receive a booster shot. Please note that Tryon is not presently distributing the Johnson & Johnson for first dose or booster vaccinations.

If you meet these criteria, click here to schedule your booster vaccine appointment while supply lasts.

First and second doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine are also available.

Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is still the best way to avoid severe illness due to COVID-19, especially the highly contagious Delta variant. It might cause more severe illness (hospital stays and deaths) than previous strains, especially in unvaccinated persons. Unvaccinated people are eight times more likely to get sick and are 25 times more likely to be hospitalized or die.

Tryon is also scheduling appointments for those who are not yet fully vaccinated to receive their first or second dose appointments of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine. Click here to schedule while supply lasts. You can also check vaccines.gov, myspot.nc.gov or vaxlocator.dhec.sc.gov for more places to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Everyone ages 12 and older is eligible to receive the vaccine.

Learn more at the NC Department of Health and Human Services website and the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control.

The COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective.

All vaccines approved or authorized for emergency use by the FDA are safe and work to prevent severe COVID illness. Clinical volunteers included Black/African American, Hispanic/LatinX, Asians and others.
