For the highest level of protection against COVID-19, anyone aged 12+ should get a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. Schedule your third dose if you are:
- 12 or older and received your second dose of Pfizer at least five months ago.
- 18 or older and received your second dose of Moderna at least five months ago.
If you got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you should get a second dose of either Pfizer or Moderna two months or more after you first got vaccinated. If you can’t or would prefer not to get Pfizer or Moderna, you can get another dose of Johnson & Johnson.
Third doses will help keep up your immunity and give you the highest level of protection. Third doses are free and available at any COVID-19 vaccine provider in the state. No insurance, ID, or proof of medical history is required to get a third dose. You can find a provider near you by visiting our vaccine finder page.
The Colorado Health Department of Public Health and Environment has made it clear that COVID-19 vaccine providers cannot turn away people aged 12 and older who want to get a third dose if it has been five months since their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna, or two months since receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
