The Grundy County Health Department has announced that COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are now available for anyone over the age of 18.
According to GCHD Administrator Elizabeth Gibson, the health department has received new orders from the state allowing booster shots for those age 18 and over who have met the two-month waiting period from their last dose. She said all three vaccines - Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson – are available and those who have had the Moderna and Pfizer two-shot vaccine should have a booster of the same vaccine. Those who have taken the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine can pick from any of the three.
