# CoronaVirus
What’s the difference between COVID booster shot and third dose? The booster is only for people who got the Pfizer vaccine. It’s given six months after your second dose. It’s recommended for people over the age of 65, adults working in long-term care settings, and those 50-64 with underlying conditions. The third dose is for people who got the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, and because of immune issues may not have worked properly. The additional dose can be given 28 days after the second shot.
