CHATHAM COUNTY -- Health Departments in the Coastal Health District will begin offering booster shots of Moderna and Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccines Tuesday. The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended booster doses for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States.

Not every health department has every brand of COVID-19 vaccine, so we encourage residents to check our scheduling website, chdcovidvax.org, to see which vaccines are available at each location. 

If you need assistance with scheduling, you may call the COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center at 912-230-5506. The call center is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. - 2 p.m.
