Cone Health to offer booster shots for immunocompromised

Hospital officials said the vaccination should lower the risk of getting the delta variant of COVID-19.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Cone Health will begin providing COVID-19 booster shots Thursday for immunocompromised people.

Booster shots for the general population will not begin until next month per the government rollout. These guidelines follow the FDA authorization and CDC recommendation that those with weakened immune systems receive a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
