KEY MESSAGES AND ACTION ITEMS:

On September 23, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended a single booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least six months after completing an initial Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine series for certain groups. This was followed by CDC Director approval with addition of a category for high-risk of occupational/institutional exposure.
Recommendations were not made for individuals who received a primary series of Moderna or J&J vaccine.
Healthcare providers should remain focused on ensuring that individuals receive their primary series as the best way to prevent COVID-19 hospitalization and death; there is ample vaccine supply.
