Take care of your CDC vaccination card!

TBHC is not able to provide replacements for lost or damaged CDC vaccination cards. Be sure to keep it in a safe, secure place, such as a file with other important documents like passports or birth certificates. Consider scanning your card to be stored in a safe digital location, or taking a photo with your smartphone as a backup, in addition to your physical copy. Pictures of your vaccination card are an acceptable proof of vaccination for indoor venues in New York.

Parents and guardians, remember to do the same for your children’s vaccine cards.

To print or download your COVID vaccine records, go to https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/excelsior-pass. You can store your Pass digitally on your smartphone with the Excelsior Pass Wallet app, available for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

You can also print your Pass from the Excelsior Pass website. You will need to enter your date of birth, county of vaccination (Kings), the type of vaccine (Pfizer), and the date of your second dose.

Vaccine brand mix and match update

TBHC only offers Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (now also now known as the brand name COMIRNATY).

All COVID-19 vaccines now require a minimum of two doses for the primary series. It is highly preferred to receive the same vaccine for all doses in the primary series.

• If it is absolutely not possible to complete the series with the same vaccine, then another mRNA vaccine can be used.
• If the same vaccine is not immediately available, but will be available soon, the patient should wait to get the same one.
• This should not be an issue in NYC where all vaccines are readily available.

Booster doses can be a different vaccine from the primary series; however, the recommendation is still to receive the same one.

• If a patient received a primary series with J&J, Astra Zeneca, or Sinovax, offering a booster with an mRNA vaccine would be recommended.
• If a patient received a primary series of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer of Moderna), their booster dose (if eligible) should be an mRNA vaccine and ideally the same mRNA vaccine as the primary series.

CDC update regarding the Johnson and Johnson vaccine

On Thursday, December 16, the CDC recommended that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (i.e., Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccines) are preferred over the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19 for all people age 18 years or older. This recommendation applies to both primary series and booster doses.

If you received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, it is recommended that you get boosted with an mRNA vaccine — we offer Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines at TBHC.
