Which vaccine should I get?

  • If unvaccinated, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA vaccines) are recommended.

  • If you are moderately or severely immunocompromised, find out more about getting an additional primary dose.

Do I need a booster shot?

  • If you are fully vaccinated, booster shots are recommended if:

    • You are 12+ and received your second Pfizer-BioNTech shot more than five months ago

    • You are age 18+ years and received a second Moderna shot more than five months ago and

    • You received a J&J/Janssen shot more than two months ago


Which booster should you get:

Most adults 18+, regardless of which vaccine they first received, should get Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA vaccines) for their booster dose. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is the only booster available to anyone ages 12-17. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.


OUSD Student Covid Vaccination Policy 

OUSD Policy:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VOrMXlkVA3yvlFcA5WZuCDVKqag9gZlb/view

No student shall be unenrolled under this Policy before January 31, 2022.

The OUSD Board of Education adopted a Board Policy in October, which requires COVID-19 vaccines for all students ages 12 and up. All students who are age 12+ as of 12/1/2021 must get vaccinated or qualify for an exemption to attend school in person in the spring of 2022. The requirement also applies to all charter schools that operate on District-owned property or seek to have their students participate in Oakland Athletic League (OAL) activities or compete against OAL teams. The State is also moving forward with a COVID-19 requirement of its own, which will take effect before the start of the 2022-2023 school year, if not earlier. Ultimately, this means that all California students will need to be fully vaccinated when required by the state unless exempted by the state next year.
