In-home COVID-19 vaccine requests

Booster shots

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has approved booster shots for anyone age 12 years and older.

Saint Paul - Ramsey County Public Health offers Pfizer and Moderna booster shots at our clinics, by appointment only. COVID-19 vaccine booster shots are currently available for anyone 12 years and older who received their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least five months ago or Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago.

Why do I need a booster shot?

COVID-19 vaccines are very effective, but new data shows protection may decrease over time. This is normal and expected.
Booster shots are common for many vaccines, like the flu shot or Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis).

Who can get a second booster shot?

People ages 50 years and older.
People ages 12-49 years who have certain immunocompromising conditions.
People 18 and older who received Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine for their initial dose and booster dose.

The second booster shot should be given at least 4 months after the first booster and it should be either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Talk to your health care provider if you have questions about getting a second booster shot. Learn more about booster shots.

Variants (Delta, Omicron)

Variants are common with a virus like COVID-19. They constantly change through mutation and new variants of a virus are expected to occur over time. Some variants come and go, while others may become widespread. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health organizations monitor all variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 in the United States and globally.

Omicron

The Minnesota Department of Health has confirmed there are cases of the Omicron variant in Minnesota, including Ramsey County.

Scientists are currently working to determine how easily Omicron spreads, how sick it makes people, how well current vaccines and treatment work to protect us against Omicron.

Public health will continue to share information and is encouraging everyone to help prevent the spread COVID-19:

Get vaccinated and if eligible, get a booster. Find a vaccine near you.
Wear masks.
Get tested.
Stay home if you are sick.
Wash hands.
Stay away from crowds.
Take extra care to avoid exposure to the virus if you have medical conditions or live with someone with medical conditions.

Breakthrough cases

What are vaccine breakthrough cases?

Breakthrough cases happen when people who are fully vaccinated still test positive for COVID-19.

This is normal.
No vaccine is 100% effective.

Even though breakthrough cases might happen more as variants circulate, fully vaccinated people are much less likely to get really sick or need hospitalization, so the vaccines are working! This is extremely important to make sure hospitals have enough beds for everyone and people who need emergency care can find it quickly. Getting vaccinated is the best way to help protect yourself and the people around you from COVID-19.

Learn more about what breakthrough cases are and what they mean from the Minnesota Department of Health.
