This includes a vaccine authorized for persons 12 years of age and older (Pfizer-BioNTech) or 18 years of age and older (Moderna or Johnson & Johnson).Any individual who is not 18 years of age or older by the day of their vaccination appointment must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to the vaccination clinic. 

3. What do I need to bring with me?

1. Individuals must complete a vaccine screening and consent form to confirm eligibility. Please review the forms below before your vaccination appointment. The forms can be read and printed by clicking the links below. Please print and complete the Screening and Consent Form before your appointment, if possible:

• Consent Form (PDF 133KB)
• Pfizer- BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet
• Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine Fact Sheet
• DOH Privacy Practices (PDF 105 KB)

2. A valid government-issued ID must also be shown at the vaccination site. This can include a passport, drivers license or military identification card. 

4. After You're Fully Vaccinated

People are considered fully vaccinated:

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
• 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine

If it has been less than 2 weeks since your shot, or if you still need to get your second dose, you are NOT fully protected. Keep taking all prevention steps until you are fully vaccinated.

What’s new if you’ve been fully vaccinated (6-17-21):

Fully vaccinated people can:

• Fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance
• Resume domestic travel and refrain from testing before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel
• Refrain from testing before leaving the United States for international travel (unless required by the destination) and refrain from self-quarantine after arriving back in the United States
  • You still need to show a negative test result or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 before boarding an international flight to the United States.
  • You should still get tested 3-5 days after international travel.
• Refrain from testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic, with some exceptions for specific settings
• Refrain from quarantine following a known exposure if asymptomatic

For now, fully vaccinated people should continue to:

• Get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms
• Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations

5. How will I get my second dose?

You will receive a reminder card with a date after you receive your vaccine. You will return to the same location on that date at the same time as your first appointment.
