The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department’s coronavirus vaccine schedule is in place for the coming week.
The walk-in schedule this week for coronavirus vaccine clinics is 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday, and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday-Friday at the 635 N. Erie St. location. Vaccines are available for children 5 and older. Additionally, fourth dose boosters are available for those who are immunocompromised, the health department said in an update. Its announcement addressed regular-booster dose-timing and said:
- Those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are eligible for a booster dose two months after receiving the initial dose.
- Those who received the Pfizer/Comirnaty or Moderna vaccine and are age 12 years or older are eligible for a booster dose five months after receiving the second dose.
- Those who are moderately to severely immunocompromised patients age 12 years or older and received an additional third dose of Pfizer vaccine are eligible for a fourth dose five months after receiving the additional third dose.
- Those who are moderately to severely immunocompromised patients and received an additional third dose of the Moderna vaccine are eligible for a fourth dose six months after receiving the additional third dose.
The department also provided an update about mix-and-match boosters. "If you are 18 or older, you may choose which vaccine you receive as a booster dose," it said in the announcement. "Some people may have a preference for the vaccine type that they originally received, and others may prefer to get a different vaccine type. This mix-and-match approach only applies to booster doses."
A primary vaccination series of an mRNA vaccine (initial two doses of Moderna or Pfizer/Comirnaty) should be completed using the same product. Additional doses for the immunocompromised also should be completed with the same product used in the primary series, the department said. "If you are age 12-17 years, you must receive the Pfizer/Comirnaty vaccine for your booster dose," the department added.
