Additional booster dose approved! Earlier this week the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized a second booster dose for those individuals over the age of 50 or for certain immunocompromised individuals. Evidence suggests that a second booster dose of an mRNA vaccine improves protection against severe COVID-19 and will reduce the risk for severe disease, hospitalization and death. With this new approval, the Centers for Disease Control has also updated their recommendations to allow certain individuals who received an initial booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or the Moderna vaccine at least 4 months ago to be eligible for another booster. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services supports:
- A second booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine may be administered to adults ages 50 years and older at least 4 months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine.
- A second booster dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine may be administered to people 12 years of age and older with certain kinds of immunocompromise at least 4 months after receipt of a first booster dose of any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. These are people who have undergone solid organ transplantation, or who are living with conditions that are considered to have an equivalent level of immunocompromise.
- A second booster dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine may be administered at least 4 months after the first booster dose of any authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine to people ages 18 years and older with the same kinds of immunocompromise listed above.
- A second booster dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may be administered to people ages 18-49 years who are not moderately or severely immunocompromised and who received Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine as both their primary series dose and booster dose at least 4 months after their first Johnson & Johnson booster dose.
--------boosters will be available at all Winnebago County Health Department COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics.
--------If you have additional questions, please call our COVID-19 Hotline at 920-232-3026.

- Q: Why is wastewater surveillance so important?
-
A: Many people with COVID-19 shed the virus in their feces prior to having symptoms or if they are asymptomatic. Testing wastewater can help us monitor COVID-19 in communities as virus levels in wastewater usually increase four to six days prior to a case increase. Analyzing this data can help communities act quickly to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Samples are analyzed by the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to determine the amount of SARS-CoV-2 virus present. Monitoring these levels can serve as an early warning of a COVID-19 uptick in communities and provide information for public health officials to intervene more quickly with mitigation strategies to slow the spread. You can monitor Winnebago County's watershed and wastewater data here.
- Due to ongoing questions regarding COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, language, and definitions, the Centers for Disease Control recently clarified some previously released updates and emphasized that these are clarifications and should not be considered new information.
-
Booster doses: For protection purposes, a person is considered “boosted” immediately following receipt of the booster dose. There is not a 2-week period to develop immunity since the immune system is already primed.
-
Fully vaccinated: A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after the final dose in the primary series.
-
Up to date: Being up to date means an individual has completed their primary series—plus, when eligible, a booster dose. A person who has received their primary series doses is no longer up to date when they do not receive a booster, when eligible. They are up to date again as soon as they receive their booster.
-
Additional information is provided for people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.
