Who can get a COVID-19 Booster?
The protection from previous doses or a COVID-19 infection may weaken over time. Booster doses help boost your antibodies and give you good protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if you get COVID-19. A first booster is recommended for all adults age 18 years and older. After this, seasonal boosters are recommended for some people.
