Where can I get a second booster?
There is more information on these and other vaccination sites at VaccinateLA County.com.
The additional boosters may be available from other providers, but those who are interested should check ahead.
The second booster shot will need to be adjusted before it can be offered by Kaiser Permanente, as it is waiting for additional clinical guidance from the CDC.
When the Centers for Disease Control issues clinical guidance, Kaiser will administer second booster doses according to that guidance, and as soon as our systems and processes can be updated to safely administer these doses to the correct populations.
The FDA stated that the initial booster dose is critical in helping to protect all adults from the potentially severe outcomes of COVID-19.
The director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research said that current evidence suggests that protection against serious outcomes from COVID-19 waned over time.
The CDC recommends that people with weakened immune systems who got the single-shot Pfizer or Moderna vaccine should get a fourth dose, as well as people with moderate or severely compromised immune systems who got the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong said in an interview that he would want his relatives to get the second booster shot if he were advising them.
Chin-Hong said that getting a second booster shot is less important for a healthy person in their 50s. Chin-Hong said that a second booster shot would allow them to get a boost in their immune system.
It might be helpful for people who are traveling to a wedding or another country to take a fourth dose.
It will take more time for researchers to figure out how much benefit people will get from a fourth dose of vaccine. Chin-Hong said there was a big benefit after a second dose and again after the first booster. The additional benefit after the second booster isn't as significant according to early data from Israel.
The second booster may be worth it for older people. Chin-Hong said that the second booster is safe. It is well-tolerated.
Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, an infectious disease expert at UCLA, said: "We do note waning immunity following the third dose." In some studies, a fourth dose can bring the level back up to what it was before. Kim-Farley said in an interview that it would imply additional protection.
The chair of the Department of Medicine at UC San Francisco recommends that people who are older or at higher risk get the booster. Wachter said that he thought the second booster would be beneficial for those at lower risk.

Many Americans can get a second COVID-19 booster, but it's hard to tell who really needs another shot right now and who could wait. Extra Pfizer or Moderna shots can be given to older people and people with weakened immune systems. It is easy to ignore calls for another dose of COVID-19 if you are not up to date with your vaccinations.
Some people may want to wait longer for a second booster shot, as they can get it after four months.
