COVID-19: Vaccination Schedule (as of 5/16/2022)

For those unvaccinated (first and second dose)

Note: Vaccination coupons for those who will be turning 12 will be sent the month after they turn 12 or later.

Booster vaccinations (third dose)

Vaccination coupons for boosters will be sent during the month that six months have passed since the day of your second dose.  

However, if the month that six months have passed is December 2021 (if you received your second vaccination in June 2021), it will take more time to prepare your coupon (printing, mailing, etc). As such, your coupon will be sent in or after mid-January 2022.

Vaccine coupon mailing schedule for those aged 12-17 ​

When can you receive your vaccination booster?

As a rule, those aged 12 and over who have received their second dose six or more months ago are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination booster.

Note: at present, those ages 12-17 can only receive the Pfizer vaccine for their booster.

*“The day that XX months have passed” means that you are eligible for vaccination on the same day after XX months have passed since your full vaccination (see Example 1); if the same day does not exist XX months later, you will be eligible for vaccination on the first day of the next month (see Example 2).

• Example 1: For those eligible “Beginning the same day that eight months have passed since receiving your second dose”: If you received your second vaccination on 6/1, you can receive your booster beginning 2/1 (the same day after eight months have passed).
• Example 2: For those eligible “Beginning the same day that eight months have passed since receiving your second dose”: If you received your second vaccination on 6/30, you can receive your booster beginning 3/1 (as the same day does not exist eight months later, you will be eligible for vaccination on the first day of the next month).
