Delaware Endorses COVID-19 Booster for All 18 and Older Following action Friday by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) advisory committee (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices [ACIP]), Delaware's Division of Public Health (DPH) is encouraging all fully vaccinated Delawareans 18 and older to get a booster dose of Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccines. Though ACIP went a bit further and recommended boosters for persons 50+ regardless of any health conditions, and 18 – 49 based on individual risks and benefits, DPH like other states, is stating eligibility in simpler terms of 18+ to reduce confusion created by prior federal recommendations. For more information on second, third, and booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, visit de.gov/boosters.
