Beginning April 11, you may get a second booster vaccination if it's been four months since your first booster and you are:

Scheduling an appointment

Self-schedule using the Mayo Clinic app or Patient Online Services. If you do not have an account, create one online or call Mayo Clinic Customer Service at 1-877-858-0398, weekdays from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. CDT.

Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to schedule appointments for children age 5 and older using the child's caregiver account on the Mayo Clinic app or Patient Online Services. If you do not have a caregiver account, call Mayo Clinic Customer Service at 1-877-858-0398, weekdays from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. CST. You also can call a location near you to schedule by phone. Find phone numbers for your local clinic below.

Children under 18 must be accompanied by parents or legal guardians when they come for their vaccination appointment. Alternatively, a parent or guardian can provide consent by phone, or the child can bring a signed consent form. In the "Limitations" box, write "Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine."

*The COVID-19 vaccine will be free. However, vaccine administration charges will be billed to insurance. We anticipate that the fee for vaccine administration will be covered by the payer at 100% and patients will not be billed for any unpaid charges. Patients and staff will need to bring their insurance card when they receive the vaccine.
