Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Booster Shots Now Available
Moderna and J&J join Pfizer as authorized COVID-19 booster shots in the U.S.
Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) will begin administering booster shots of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines on Monday, Oct. 25, after authorizations this week by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A Pfizer COVID-19 booster shot was authorized in September and is already available at LVHN vaccine clinics.
Scheduling a Moderna or Johnson & Johnson booster can be done starting Monday, Oct. 25. Scheduling is encouraged and can be completed through MyLVHN, our patient portal, or by calling the COVID-19 vaccine hotline at 833-584-6283 (833-LVHN-CVD). The hotline is open Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Walk-ins also are accepted at LVHN vaccine clinics. Those seeking booster shots should bring their vaccine card to the vaccine clinic so the card can be updated.
LVHN also offers third shots of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines for people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.

In Addition Both WALGREENS and RITEAID are now giving the MODERNA COVID BOOSTERS to anyone at a high risk job or over 65.
