People 65 and older, residents of long-term care settings, and anyone 50-to 64 years old with underlying medical conditions are eligible for a booster shot of COVID-19 vaccine, as long as it comes six months after

a person’s full vaccination (two doses). That’s the word from the Washington Department of Health, the national Centers for Disease Control, and the Federal Drug Administration. You can get more information from the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department at tpchd.org.
