Information About Booster Shots For Long Beach Residents

The federal government has announced that starting late September, booster shots will be made available to those who initially received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines eight months after their second dose. Mayor Garcia said that Long Beach is planning for this major effort and is committed to making these shots available to all residents and workers in the weeks ahead.

The Long Beach Health Department will be providing detailed information in the weeks ahead about how to get your booster shot. A full statement from the Health Department is available here.

Long Beach For those who are immunocompromised, booster shots are available now and information about how to get a booster shot is available here.

It is expected that people who received the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine also will likely need a booster shot in the future, but that is still being determined. That information will be shared when it becomes available.
