COVID-19 Vaccines
National Jewish Health continues to provide vaccine to the public and our patients following U.S. Food & Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Colorado Department of Public Health & Education (CDPHE) guidelines.
First, Second and Booster Doses (Age 18+) – Online Appointments
By online appointment only, National Jewish Health is administering first, second and booster doses of Pfizer vaccine to qualified patients and members of the public ages 18+.
If you are booking a first dose, please book another appointment to get your second shot at least 21 days after your first. CDC Guidance on Second Shots
Third-dose booster shots should be booked at least five months after receiving your second dose of Pfizer or Moderna or two months after receiving your Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Fourth-dose booster shots should be booked at least four months after a third-dose booster. CDC Guidance on Booster Shots
The current recommendation is to receive the same booster dose as the initial (two-shot) series, however mixing vaccine types is allowed. If you initially received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you can get any of the three vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson) as your booster shot. If you received Pfizer or Moderna for your initial series, you can get either Pfizer or Moderna as your booster shot.
Boosters for Immunocompromised Patients – Only with a Physician/Clinic Appointment
By patient appointment only, National Jewish Health is administering third primary doses (sometimes called a “fourth dose”) and booster doses of Pfizer vaccine to qualified immunocompromised patients. Patients must be age 5+; third primary doses are administered 28 days or more after the second primary dose.
Book an appointment by calling 303.398.1355 or through your secure patient portal account.
We are following the current CDC guidelines for third primary dose eligibility.
