Currently, children ages 5 through 11 years old are eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, the CDC is expanding eligibility of COVID-19 vaccine booster doses to everyone 5 years of age and older. CDC now recommends that children ages 5 through 11 years should receive a booster shot 5 months after their initial Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination series.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines and boosters for children 5 through 11 years old are available at Sadler Health Center on Thursdays during normal business hours.
Update: March 10, 2022

Update: January 31, 2022
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a second COVID-19 vaccine. The vaccine has been known as the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine; the approved vaccine will be marketed as Spikevax for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older.
Key points:
- Spikevax meets the FDA’s rigorous standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality required for approval.
- Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine has been available under emergency use authorization (EUA) for individuals 18 years of age and older since Dec. 18, 2020.
“The FDA’s approval of Spikevax is a significant step in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, marking the second vaccine approved to prevent COVID-19. The public can be assured that Spikevax meets the FDA’s high standards for safety, effectiveness and manufacturing quality required of any vaccine approved for use in the United States,” said Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock, M.D.
Update: January 5, 2022
According to the CDC, getting vaccinated and staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines is the best way to protect yourself and others against the Omicron variant.
In addition, given what we currently know about COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, CDC is shortening the recommended time for isolation for the public. People with COVID-19 should isolate for 5 days and if they are asymptomatic or their symptoms are resolving (without fever for 24 hours), follow that by 5 days of wearing a mask when around others to minimize the risk of infecting people they encounter. The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after.
Additionally, CDC is updating the recommended quarantine period for anyone in the general public who is exposed to COVID-19. For people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second mRNA dose (or more than 2 months after the J&J vaccine) and not yet boosted, CDC now recommends quarantine for 5 days followed by strict mask use for an additional 5 days. Alternatively, if a 5-day quarantine is not feasible, it is imperative that an exposed person wear a well-fitting mask at all times when around others for 10 days after exposure. Individuals who have received their booster shot do not need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure. For all those exposed, best practice would also include a test for SARS-CoV-2 at day 5 after exposure. If symptoms occur, individuals should immediately quarantine until a negative test confirms symptoms are not attributable to COVID-19.
Isolation relates to behavior after a confirmed infection. Isolation for 5 days followed by wearing a well-fitting mask will minimize the risk of spreading the virus to others. Quarantine refers to the time following exposure to the virus or close contact with someone known to have COVID-19. Both updates come as the Omicron variant continues to spread throughout the U.S. and reflects the current science on when and for how long a person is maximally infectious. These recommendations do not supersede state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, nor do they apply to healthcare workers for whom CDC has updated guidance.
Data from South Africa and the United Kingdom demonstrate that vaccine effectiveness against infection for two doses of an mRNA vaccine is approximately 35%. A COVID-19 vaccine booster dose restores vaccine effectiveness against infection to 75%. COVID-19 vaccination decreases the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.
CDC recommends that everyone 5 years and older protect themselves from COVID-19 by getting vaccinated. Everyone ages 12 years and older should stay up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines and get a booster shot when eligible.
Update: December 3, 2021
The CDC issued the following guidance for booster doses to all individuals 18 years or older who received their Moderna or Pfizer primary series at least six months ago.
For individuals who received a Janssen vaccine as their primary dose at least two months ago, the CDC guidance recommends a booster dose to all individuals who are 18 or older.
Individuals have ability to decide which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some individuals may prefer to receive booster of the same vaccine type they received as primary series while others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC is now allowing such mix and match of vaccines for booster shoots.
We recommend that you should talk to your healthcare provider about your medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for you. To receive a booster dose of the COVID- 19 vaccine at Sadler Health Center, you may make an appointment on this page, SadlerHealth.org/covid19/, call us at (717) 960-6901, or walk-in Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
Update: November 2, 2021
On Thursday, October 21st, 2021, CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issued a recommendation for Moderna and Janssen booster doses for certain groups of individuals. The recommendation was later signed off by CDC Director Dr. Walensky. This is in addition to the CDC’s earlier recommendation for the Pfizer booster dose.
The CDC issued the following guidance for booster doses to individuals who received their Moderna or Pfizer primary series at least six months ago:
- 65 years and older
- Age 18+ who live in long-term care settings
- Age 18+ who have underlying medical conditions
- Age 18+ who work or live in high-risk settings
For individuals who received a Janssen vaccine as their primary dose at least two months ago, the CDC guidance recommends a booster dose to all individuals who are 18 or older.
According to the CDC, booster is now recommended for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States. Individuals have ability to decide which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Some individuals may prefer to receive booster of the same vaccine type they received as primary series while others may prefer to get a different booster. CDC is now allowing such mix and match of vaccines for booster shoots.
At Sadler Health Center, we are offering Moderna and Janssen vaccines. If you prefer to receive the Moderna vaccine booster, we know that it is a half dose of the same product when compared to the primary series.
Following this recommendation, providers, like Sadler Health Center, will begin administering booster doses immediately.
We recommend that you should talk to your healthcare provider about your medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for you. To receive a booster dose of the COVID- 19 vaccine at Sadler Health Center, you may make an appointment on this page, SadlerHealth.org/covid19/, call us at (717) 960-6901, or walk-in Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
