Current and historical third doses were added to the Oregon COVID-19 Vaccine Daily Update dashboard on Sept. 9. A third dose is specifically for those who are immunocompromised and may not have built up adequate protective immunity with their first series of vaccines. Only Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for third doses at this time. Current booster shots were added to the same dashboard today. A booster shot is for people whose immunity may be fading after they complete their first vaccination series. Only the Pfizer Comirnaty vaccine is authorized for boosters at this time. Booster doses are recommended for people age 65 and older, those at risk of severe COVID-19 disease and people age 18-64 who are at risk of increased SARS-CoV-2 virus exposure or transmission because of where they work or live. Historical booster doses will be incorporated soon. Third doses and booster doses are currently reported together.
