Yes. The FDA approved an update which says that you can receive a booster of any brand regardless of your original vaccine.

We are a small, community dermatology office and we do not have the staffing available to answer the large amount of phone calls we are currently receiving about vaccinations. We are still taking care of all of our patients dermatologic needs and need to keep the lines open for this. Online scheduling allows us to handle mass vaccination along with all of the other needs of a busy dermatology practice.

We use Google's servers and calendar system (in a secure, encrypted, HIPAA-safe environment) to manage our online appointments. Unfortunately this requires patients to sign up for a Google account if they don't already have one. Luckily, you can create a Google account with your current email address during the online appointment booking. Just follow the steps on the screen.

You should receive an email with details about the appointment after you create the appointment. You will also see the appointment when you are logged into Google (make sure you are logged in to the Google account that you made the appointment with!) on your Google Calendar. You will not receive a phone call from us to confirm, though you may receive an appointment reminder via our automated system (phone, text, or email).

The guidance given to us by the Delaware Division of Public Health is that we may vaccinate both Delaware and Maryland patients at our discretion. If you live on the eastern shore of Virginia, please let us know and we will inquire on your behalf.

On the calendar when you are making your appointment, you will see the name of the manufacturer of the vaccine we are currently administering. We get our vaccine supply from the Delaware Division of Public Health and we get whatever they give us. We have administered both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the office. You can also visit VaccineFinder and search for us on there. It is updated daily and shows what we currently have in inventory.

The best place to go is the CDC website for Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccination. They have everything listed there including side effects, dosing schedule, ingredients, contraindications, etc.
