• Must be at least 5 years old.
• Most major insurances accepted.
• For those without insurance, a standard dose is $40 (cash or check accepted).
• Arrive with your license and insurance card.

For the Pfizer bivalent booster:

• Appointments are required; please call 203 638-5230.
• Must be at least 12 years old.
• Must be at least two months since a patient's last dose.

I just had COVID, when should I get boosted?

Per the CDC, residents should wait at least two months post-infection to get a bivalent booster. This is also supported by a recent preprint that showed that boosting within 60 days of infection negated the benefit of a booster, town officials said.
