QUINCY — The Adams County Health Department now has Comirnaty, the current COVID-19 vaccine made by Pfizer-BioNTech, for individuals ages 12 years and older.
The public will be notified as soon as the Pfizer-BioNTech 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6 months to 11 years is received. This updated vaccine should work well against currently circulating variants of COVID-19.

Pediatric and Adolescent Guidance: Children over the age of 6 months should receive at least one updated vaccine as part of the recommended vaccination series at least two months after their last dose. If your child has not previously received a COVID-19 vaccine, they should complete this year’s series as soon as possible.
Adult Guidance: Adults should receive at least one updated vaccine as part of the recommended vaccination series at least two months after their last dose. If you have not yet received a COVID-19 vaccine, you should complete this year’s updated series as soon as possible.
Additional guidance for those with compromised immune systems: People with compromised immune systems have the option to receive a second dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine for increased immune protection.
