Health Department Back to School Vaccination Clinics
If your child is attending public school certain immunizations are required. The Harford County Health Department is offering these FREE clinics.  Health exam is NOT included as part of this event.  

Got Questions About the COVID Booster Shot?
 

The CDC has authorized Pfizer and Moderna vaccine recipients for a 3rd dose if they have a health condition that severely weakens their immune system.  2.7% of the adult population and a small number of adolescents will qualify.  These conditions include the following:
  • Organ transplant recipients
  • Current treatment for blood and lymph cancers (leukemias and lymphomas) and most other types of cancers requiring chemotherapy
  • Stem cell transplant recipients
  • Advanced HIV infection
  • Active treatment with medications that weaken components of the immune system, including 20 or more milligrams/day of prednisone or comparable steroid medications, TNF blockers, and other medications that impair response of the immune system
  • Primary immunodeficiency diseases (e.g., DiGeorge, Wiskott-Aldrich syndromes)
  • Severe renal disease

Anyone qualifying for a third dose should already be under the care of a physician.  It is best for you to have a discussion with your personal doctor to decide: 1) if a 3rd dose is appropriate for you, and 2) if any temporary modifications in your treatments are needed to get the greatest benefit from a 3rd vaccine dose.  For more info about the booster shot visit the Harford County Health Dept. website.
