Boosters for General Population
Pfizer
People who received the full series (two shots) of the Pfizer vaccine at least six months ago may be eligible for a booster dose at this time. Please see the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) guidance on Pfizer boosters to determine if you are eligible.
If you are eligible for a booster, we encourage you to reach out to your healthcare provider to set up an appointment. We also offer booster doses at our South Madison, East Washington, and Arena clinics.
Moderna
Booster doses for Moderna have not been authorized by DHS at this time. If you are considered severely immunocompromised, you may be eligible for a third dose of Moderna. Please reach out to your health care provider to determine if you are eligible and to schedule your dose. People who received the Moderna vaccine are not eligible for the Pfizer booster.
Johnson & Johnson
Booster doses for Johnson & Johnson or third doses for Johnson & Johnson have not been authorized by DHS at this time. People who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine are not eligible for the Pfizer booster.
Lost Vaccination Cards
We cannot issue replacement COVID-19 vaccination cards. If you've lost your card, follow these instructions:
I was vaccinated in Wisconsin
You can access and print your entire vaccination record using the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). Your WIR record can be used in place of your vaccination card.
- If you have a social security number, Medicaid ID, or Health Care Member ID, you can access your record through the Public Immunization Record Access webpage.
- If you do not have one of these numbers, you can access your record one of two ways:
- Option 1: Fill out the Wisconsin Immunization Registry Record Release Authorization, F-02487 and have your records sent to you.
- Option 2: Ask the organization that vaccinated you to assign you a chart number in WIR. The chart number field is linked to the Health Care Member ID.
- Then, visit the Public Immunization Record Access webpage and enter the chart number assigned to you in the Health Care Member ID field.
I was vaccinated in another state
If you received your vaccination in another state, go to that state department of health website to determine how to get a copy of your record.
