Cumberland County’s Health Department is administering Pfizer booster shots for approved groups but not earlier than six months after second doses have been given.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends people who have compromised immune systems receive booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

“We want all eligible citizens to get fully vaccinated before the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Dr. Jennifer Green, Cumberland County, public health director.

“We will offer Pfizer boosters at all of our vaccination locations.”

The Health Department also provides free at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen testing kits.

A list of approved groups and appointment applications can be found at cumberlandcountync.gov/covid19/vaccination.

An online application form allows individuals to choose their appointment dates and times for the first, second or third doses.
