Everyone age 18 and older is now eligible for a COVID-19 booster vaccine.

Those who received Pfizer or Moderna may get a booster if it has been at least 6 months after completing their primary COVID-19 vaccination series.

Those who received the Janssen vaccine, may get the booster if it has been at least 2 months since they received their COVID-19 vaccination.

Winona Health’s COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic is on the first floor of the Parkview Office Building, 825 Mankato Avenue on the Winona Health campus.
