The Logan County Health District will be offering booster Moderna and Pfizer doses only for immunocompromised individuals, beginning Tuesday, Aug 24.
The CDC has further defined this eligible population to include:
• Individuals undergoing active treatment for cancer (solid tumor and hematologic malignancies).
• Individuals who have received a solid-organ transplant and are taking immunosuppressive therapy.
• Individuals who have received a CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within two years of transplant or taking immunosuppression therapy).
• Individuals with moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome).
• Individuals with advanced or untreated HIV infection.
• Individuals undergoing active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (i.e., ≥20mg prednisone or equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor-necrosis (TNF) blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory.
If you meet the above definition, and it has been at least four weeks after your second vaccine, you may receive your third dose.
Booster doses are only available for immunocompromised individuals at this time. All others will be eligible to receive a booster at a later time and will be announced.
The Logan County Health District walk-in clinic hours are Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3:30 p.m. for first and second dose COVID-19 vaccines and boosters for those listed above.
