As of April 13, 2021, age 12+ for Pfizer and 18+ for Moderna and J&J are eligible.

Third doses are for the immunocompromised patients because they need an extra dose to reach the >90% needed for full vaccination, and is available now. This population of patients need the third dose – 28 days after the second dose of either Pfizer or Moderna. 

Currently, CDC is recommending that moderately to severely immunocompromised people receive an additional dose. This includes people who have:

• Been receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
• Received an organ transplant and are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
• Received a stem cell transplant within the last 2 years or are taking medicine to suppress the immune system
• Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (such as DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
• Advanced or untreated HIV infection
• Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress your immune response

People should talk to their healthcare provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.
