Who should take the COVID-19 booster?
All people ages 12 years and older should receive 1 booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine after completion of the primary series (Table 2), even if they were younger than age 12 years at the time of the primary series. Some adults may receive a second booster dose.

Booster dose. Booster doses are recommended for people age 12 and older after getting two doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or one dose of a Janssen/Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.

For people who are immunocompromised, the third primary dose is the final dose of the primary series of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine while the booster is the shot that comes at least three months later. Getting a booster enhances or restores protection against COVID-19, which may have decreased over time.
