* People with a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection may consider delaying vaccination by 3 months from symptom onset or positive test (if infection was asymptomatic).
† Children 6 months through 4 years of age should receive the same vaccine product for all doses. In the following situations, a different age-appropriate COVID-19 vaccine product may
be administered: the same vaccine is not available at the time of the clinic visit, the previous dose is unknown, the person would otherwise not receive a recommended dose, or the
person starts but is unable to complete a vaccination series with the same vaccine due to a contraindication.
‡ An 8-week interval between the first and second doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine might be optimal for some people, as it might reduce the rare risk of myocarditis and
pericarditis associated with COVID-19 vaccines.
§ If mRNA vaccine is administered from different manufacturers, a 3-dose initial series should be followed:
•
Children who received Dose 1 from one manufacturer but will receive subsequent dose(s) from a different manufacturer, administer:
•
Dose 2 at least 4–8 weeks after Dose 1.
•
Dose 3 at least 8 weeks after Dose 2.
•
Children who received 2 doses of vaccine from different manufacturers, administer Dose 3 at least 8 weeks after Dose 2.
¶ CDC recommends that people receive the age-appropriate vaccine product and dosage based on their age on the day of vaccination. Children who turn 5 years of age during the initial
series, administer the age-appropriate dose 0.3 mL/10 µg. If the 10 µg dose is the second dose, administer at least 3–8 weeks after the first dose; if it is the third dose, administer at least
8 weeks after the second dose. No further doses are indicated.

If the immunization history is only 1 dose of 2024–25 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine, see Table 1c for detailed guidance.
