Those individuals will need to report their immunocompromised status via a screening questionnaire before receiving a third dose. The CDC recommends administering the same vaccine as the patient’s original series whenever possible.
No booster determination has been made for those immunocompromised individuals who previously received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
Meijer currently operates 257 grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky.
