WVU Medicine to offer COVID booster shot clinic Oct. 29

MORGANTOWN — WVU Medicine will offer Pfizer-BioNTech booster COVID vaccines from 8 a.m.- noon Friday at its vaccine clinic in the former Sears location at the Morgantown Mall.

Vaccines will be provided to those who were vaccinated at least six months ago with the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines, or at least two months ago with the Jannsen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The vaccines will be provided by appointment only to the following patients:

  • Those who are 65 years of age and older;
  • Those who are 18 years old or older who are immunosuppressed and/or have other underlying conditions that put them at high risk of contracting COVID-19; and
  • Those who are 18 years old or older who are in frequent contact with others exposed to COVID-19.

Vaccines will be given by appointment only to those who meet the above criteria. No walk-in appointments will be accepted. Appointment availability is based entirely on vaccine supply; distribution is currently controlled by the state and federal governments.

Appointments can be scheduled by using MyWVUChart, by calling 855-WVU-CARE, or by visiting https://wvumedicine.org/info/booster-dose-clinic/.

Those who have COVID-19 are not eligible for the vaccine.
