From the ND Dept of Health: Should You Get Your Second Booster Dose Now or Later? (UPDATED 5/23)

Should I Get a Second Booster Dose Now or Later?

by Jessica Allen, IMMUNIZATION HEALTH EDUCATOR, DISEASE CONTROL

Deciding when you should receive your second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine can be a tough decision. While some may choose to get their second booster dose as soon as they become eligible, others may choose to wait until a later date. Currently, all adults ages 50 years and older and all individuals ages 12 years and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised should receive a second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after receiving their first booster dose. Due to a recent substantial increase in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations among older Americans, it is advised that these populations get their second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they become eligible.

However, if you are thinking about delaying your second booster dose vaccination, it is important that you consider your personal risk factors that may make you more susceptible to severe illness, hospitalization or death due to COVID-19. These risk factors could include your age, underlying medical conditions, when you were last infected with COVID-19 and your risk of exposure to COVID-19. North Dakotans are encouraged to speak with a trusted health care provider if they have further questions about when might be the best time for them to receive their second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
