Vaccination options

COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are available from many providers throughout Indiana. The Allen County Department of Health is offering Pfizer and Moderna vaccinations by appointment at the Medical Annex, 4813 New Haven Ave.

The Indiana Department of Health has updated its vaccination map to show providers now providing COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters, including the recently approved bivalent COVID-19 boosters from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech.

Some sites can accommodate walk-ins, but many providers require appointments.

More information about COVID-19 vaccinations is available from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

About bivalent COVID-19 vaccines

The bivalent vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech target the original strain of the virus as well as the Omicron COVID-19 variant. The vaccines tested and recently approved by federal regulators provide better protection against the widely circulating Omicron variant, which is causing most of the COVID-19 cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent boosters each have been approved as single-dose boosters given at least two months after your last COVID-19 shot. Those who have recently had COVID-19 can wait three months since their diagnosis to receive the updated booster.

The Moderna bivalent booster is approved for anyone 6 and older who meets eligibility requirements. The Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster is approved for anyone 5 and older who meets eligibility requirements.
