“We’re happy to announce that the Medical Center is now authorized to administer the Pfizer vaccine booster shot to eligible beneficiaries who completed the two-dose Pfizer COVID-19 primary vaccine series at least six months ago,” Col. (Dr.) Ryan Mihata, deputy commander of the 88th Medical Group, said in a base release.
Eligible beneficiaries include those who are 65 and older, those aged 50-64 with underlying medical conditions and those dealing with certain qualifying conditions, including cancer and chronic lung diseases.
At this time, booster shots are not recommended for those who received the Moderna two-dose vaccine and the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen single-dose vaccine or a mixed series of vaccines.
Vaccines are available in the Wright-Patterson Medical Center auditorium.
Vaccine appointments can be scheduled by visiting https://informatics-stage.health.mil/WPAFBCOVIDApp or calling 937-257-SHOT (7468).
