GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Department of Health will be offering adult (18 years and older) COVID-19 Moderna vaccine booster clinics by appointment only through guest registration in the Vaccination Administration Management System (VAMS).

Clinics will take place on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Greenwich Town Hall (Lower Level)

• Nov. 10

Clinics in December will be posted according to need.

Residents should select "COVID-19 vaccine" and "booster dose" when prompted during registration. This booster dose is for those individuals who have completed their two-shot series of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

All individuals who received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine can receive a booster at least two months after their Johnson & Johnson vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccine clinic will not be administering any flu shots, initial series of COVID-19 vaccinations or Third Dose COVID-19 vaccinations. Use this link to find other vaccination options.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) does support a booster dose of a different type of vaccine than what an individual received for their primary series, if they choose. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots.
