Prince George's County COVID-19 Vaccination Update

Dear Prince Georgians:

  • We have surpassed over 1 MILLION COVID-19 vaccinations provided to eligible County residents! I want to thank our Health Department, Office of Emergency Management, and our many community and healthcare partners for helping us reach this milestone. Most importantly, I want to thank the hundreds of thousands of residents who have stepped up to get vaccinated against this virus.
  • This week, we announced that COVID-19 booster shots are now available for eligible individuals who received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine at least 6 months ago. Vaccinations are free and appointments are not necessary. Visit mypgc.us/COVIDvaccine to find a vaccine clinic near you. Booster shots are available via the County Health Department and at local pharmacies, urgent care facilities, retail stores, and other health care providers. 

    • Those eligible to receive a booster shot include individuals ages 65 or older, individuals ages 18-64 years with underlying medical conditions, or individuals ages 18-64 years who work or reside in certain settings (e.g., health care, schools, grocery workers, correctional facilities, homeless shelters) that increase their risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission.
    • Eligible individuals seeking booster shots DO NOT have to receive it at the same clinic where they received their first and second doses.
    • The County will not require proof of eligibility or a doctor’s note from individuals to receive a booster shot.
    • The FDA has yet to authorize a booster shot for people who received the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
  • As a reminder, individuals with weakened immune systems were already approved to receive a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. That third dose can be received as soon as 28 days after the second dose for those with weakened immune systems.   

Yours in service,
Angela Alsobrooks
Prince George’s County Executive
