Booster Doses

Pfizer (Comirnaty) and Moderna

You are eligible for a Pfizer or Moderna booster if you received your second dose at least 6 months ago, and you are age 18 or older.

If you are eligible for a Pfizer or Moderna booster, reach out to your health care provider or schedule an appointment at one of our vaccine clinics.

Johnson & Johnson

You are eligible for a Johnson & Johnson booster if you received your dose at least 2 months ago.

If you are eligible for a J&J booster, reach out to your health care provider or schedule an appointment at one of our vaccine clinics.

"Mixing and matching" boosters

You may receive any brand of vaccine for your booster dose; you do not have to receive the same brand you received initially as long as you meet the requirements for a booster. For example, if you received a Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago, you may receive any one Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson booster dose.

Our ability to provide any brand of vaccine is dependent on our supply, and we cannot guarantee we will be able to offer you any particular brand of booster. If we run out of a certain brand when you show up for your appointment, we will offer you the alternatives we have on hand.

Lost Vaccination Cards

We cannot issue replacement COVID-19 vaccination cards. If you've lost your card, follow these instructions:

I was vaccinated in Wisconsin

You can access and print your entire vaccination record using the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). Your WIR record can be used in place of your vaccination card.

If you have a social security number, Medicaid ID, or Health Care Member ID, you can access your record through the Public Immunization Record Access webpage.
If you do not have one of these numbers, you can access your record one of two ways:
- Option 1: Fill out the Wisconsin Immunization Registry Record Release Authorization, F-02487 and have your records sent to you.
- Option 2: Ask the organization that vaccinated you to assign you a chart number in WIR. The chart number field is linked to the Health Care Member ID.
- Then, visit the Public Immunization Record Access webpage and enter the chart number assigned to you in the Health Care Member ID field.

I was vaccinated in another state

If you received your vaccination in another state, go to that state department of health website to determine how to get a copy of your record.
