Moderna and Johnson & Johnson booster vaccines not yet available through Allamakee Public Health

Veterans Memorial Hospital Community and Home Care/Allamakee Public Health has not yet received approval to administer the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 boosters.

CDC Advisory recommendations have been made regarding booster vaccines of Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. However, Allamakee Public Health has not received the go-ahead approval from the Iowa Department of Public Health and, in fact, has been told not to proceed with any boosters until they do receive approval.

Allamakee Public Health asks the public to not call the agency about these booster doses as this further impedes their ability to manage their daily workload. They will keep the public updated with any changes and plans moving forward.
