Important information about Booster Clinics

For more information about COVID-19 vaccines administered by Saratoga County Public Health Services, please call (518) 584-7460 Extension 8327 or visit the Public Health’s COVID-19 webpage at www.saratogacountyny.gov.

Third Dose Vaccine Clinics are by appointment only. Those attending a Third Dose Vaccine Clinic must make an appointment for a clinic offering the same vaccine as they received for their first two series.  For example, if an individual received a Pfizer vaccine for dose one and two, they must register for a Third Dose Pfizer Vaccine Clinic.

Third Dose Vaccine Clinics are offered only to those who are severely immunocompromised who have previously received two doses with the second dose given at least 28 days prior as evidenced by a valid vaccination card.

Severely immunocompromised individuals include those who meet the following 3rd dose eligibility criteria established by CDC:

• Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies;
• Receipt of solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy;
• Receipt of CAR-T cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy);
• Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome);
• Advanced or untreated HIV infection;
• Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (i.e., ≥20mg prednisone or equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor-necrosis (TNF) blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory.

The vaccines are free. No proof of insurance required.  Pre-registration is required only for third dose clinics; walk-ins welcome at first dose clinics.  Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
