First booster vaccines (eligible for everyone aged 12 and up)*
Second booster vaccines (eligible for adults aged 50 and up, people who received Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 for their first shot and first booster, and people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised)

Health Services will have all three vaccine types—Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and J&J—at these clinics. Those aged 5-17 are eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech version of the vaccine only.

*Health Services requires written permission from a parent/legal guardian to administer vaccines to those aged 5-15 and boosters to those aged 12-17. If someone else brings your child to these clinics, complete a consent form to send with them. Forms are available for download at brunswickcountync.gov/vaccines

The CDC now recommends Moderna & Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines as best choice for most people for preventing severe infection from COVID-19. People who prefer to receive the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine will continue to have access to it, given they do not have any contraindications, as will people who cannot receive an mRNA vaccine. The CDC emphasizes that receiving any vaccine, including the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, is better than being unvaccinated.

Appointments for eligible individuals aged 5 and older are still available at Brunswick County Health Services main clinic in Bolivia. Individuals and/or parents can book appointments online or call the Public Health Call Line:
