PIMA COUNTY, Ariz. — A third dose of the COVID-19 vaccines will now be offered at any of Pima County Health Department's vaccination sites.
Those with weakened immune systems now have the opportunity to receive a third dosage of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine in Pima County.
On Aug.13, the CDC and the FDA ruled that high-risk groups, including transplant recipients and other similarly immune-compromised patients, are allowed to get extra dosage in hopes of better protection. The general public is not included in that offer.
The third dose should be taken at least 28 days from the initial dosage and should be the same vaccine as the first two shots, health officials said.
Pima County health officials said no proof will be required for those who attest to needing a third shot.
