Public Health offers free Pfizer & Moderna COVID-19 vaccines & boosters every Fri. in April

The Juneau Public Health Center will continue to offer free Flu & COVID-19 vaccines to individuals ages 5 to adult every Friday through April. Pfizer and, newly added, Moderna vaccines are available. Simply walk in and register on site from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you prefer to make an appointment, go to juneau.org/vaccine or call 907-586-6000. The Juneau Public Health Center is located at 3412 Glacier Highway, across the street from the Twin Lakes parking lot.

Individuals who are up to date with vaccinations are more protected against severe illness from COVID-19. The Juneau Public Health Center offers first and second Pfizer and Moderna doses, as well as Pfizer and Moderna boosters. If you fall into any of these categories, you are encouraged to attend the clinic:

• Anyone ages 5 and up who needs a first or second Pfizer vaccine dose. Individuals age 18 and up can receive a Moderna primary series.
• Individuals 12 to 17 who need a booster. Pfizer boosters can be administered at least 5 months after the initial Pfizer series.
• Individuals ages 18 and up who received an initial Pfizer or Moderna series, and need a booster. Either Pfizer or Moderna boosters can be administered at least 5 months after an initial series.
• Individuals ages 18 and up who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and need a booster. Either Pfizer or Moderna boosters can be administered at least 2 months after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Additional booster doses (beyond the first) are not yet approved and will not be available at these clinics. Those who are interested in the scientific discussion on this process may wish to watch the April 6 meeting of the FDA’s Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meeting.
