Baltimore, MD - Sept. 26, 2021 - The Bikur Cholim vaccine clinic will be open tonight Sunday, September 26th from 8:30-9:30 and in addition to offering 1st and 2nd doses of Pfizer and Moderna and single doses of J&J, we will also be offering additional booster doses of Pfizer according to the current CDC guidelines.

Booster doses (at least 6 months after second doses) of Pfizer-only are currently recommended for:

● people 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings,
● people aged 50–64 years with underlying medical conditions,
● people aged 18–49 years with underlying medical conditions based on their individual benefits and risks, and
● people aged 18-64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of occupational or institutional setting based on their individual benefits and risks.

We will also continue to offer “additional” (3rd) doses of Pfizer and Moderna for those with moderately to severely compromised immune systems that are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, and may not build the same level of immunity to 2-dose vaccine series compared to people who are not immunocompromised. Additional doses should be administered at least 28 days after second doses for those that are eligible.

Patients should talk to their healthcare providers to determine individual benefits and risks of receiving a booster dose or additional doses.

Pre- Registration is required at www.baltimorebikurcholim.org or by phone at 410-999-3700 ext. 108. Some limited walk ins will be available when able.

We will continue running our clinic on Sunday evenings for the next few weeks and will add additional weekday clinics as needed.
