Shortly before Thanksgiving, federal health authorities approved booster shots for all adults either six months after their initial two-shot Pfizer or Moderna series, or two months after taking the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine. And on Nov. 29, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky took it one step further, recommending boosters for all adults (using those same timetables) in light of the emerging omicron variant.
With booster-related developments subject to constant fluidity, the Texas Medical Association has both you and your patients covered with up-to-date COVID-19 Vaccine Booster FAQ sheets for both physicians and patients.
Among other key questions, the FAQs collectively explain:
- Who is eligible for a booster;
- Whether patients can get a booster dose from a manufacturer different from the one that supplied their first shot series; and
- How to bill for booster doses and tips for incorporating the administration of booster doses into your practice.
