The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have approved all three vaccines available, Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson and Johnson for a booster shot.
The boosters are available to those ages 65 and older and others 18 and older who qualify based on their health history, type of employment, and living situation.
See CDC website for additional information:

The FDA and CDC also approved a “mix-and-match” approach to booster shots. At Heartland, we stock Pfizer and Moderna.
· If Moderna or Pfizer was your previous two dose immunization series, six months later you can get a booster of either Moderna or Pfizer.
· If you received the one dose of Johnson and Johnson, two months later you can receive a booster dose of Pfizer or Moderna (or Johnson and Johnson at a different health care facility).
If you would like to schedule your booster or better determine if you qualify, please call 309-680-7600 to schedule at our 1701 W. Garden Street location.
