STATEMENT ON BOOSTER SHOTS
On Wednesday, August 18th, the CDC and HHS released a joint statement recommending a 3rd-dose COVID-19 booster to be given 8 months following a person’s 2nd shot. Currently, the 3rd-dose booster has not been approved by the FDA *for the general public.TCHD learned about the new recommendation at the same time as the public. Please be patient as we await critical guidance documents from the CDC, FDA, and the State of Missouri so we can begin the planning process.
*Individuals that are immunocompromised are encouraged to reach out to their healthcare provider to get the COVID-19 Vaccine Booster before the general public.
