(WAND) - CVS and Hy-Vee announced availability of COVID-19 booster shots after full federal approval came down Friday.Â
CVS Health said nearly 10,000 CVS Pharmacy locations will be able to offer a Pfizer or Moderna booster dose to all adults beginning on Saturday, Nov. 20. Each person must have completed primary vaccination with an authorized COVID-19 vaccine.Â
"We remain committed to reducing barriers to getting vaccinated and are prepared to meet the needs of individuals now eligible for a booster dose. We strongly encourage eligible individuals to schedule an appointment at a location convenient to them at CVS.com or through the CVS App," a CVS statement said.
Hy-Vee said Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccine booster doses are now available to all adults at Hy-Vee Pharmacy locations across the company's eight-state region.Â
Boosters are recommended for Pfizer and Moderna adult recipients at least six months after their second dose. A booster for Johnson & Johnson recipients should happen at least two months after their first dose.Â
Eligible people can choose which vaccine they get as a booster, provided they follow the booster timeline of their primary vaccine manufacturer.Â
Hy-Vee customers can schedule their free vaccination online here.Â
