(WWJ) Ready for your booster?

The series of begins on Wednesday, when the Oakland County Health division will administer the shots (free of charge) at the Southfield Pavilion on Evergreen Rd.
Those who live, work or go to school in Oakland County are welcome.
By late-morning, a fairly long line had formed at pavilion, where one woman waiting was asked why she showed up.
"I'm in that age bracket," she told WWJ's Dr. Deanna Lites. "I'm 71, and I'm glad to be alive, and I want to stay alive a little while longer."
An appointment is strongly recommended, but not required.

The shot is available for those who have already received the first two doses of the Pfizer COVID vaccine.
Additional eligibility information for the Pfizer booster dose can be found here.
“It remains essential for unvaccinated individuals to begin their series of COVID-19 vaccines to help prevent the transmission of the disease even as the Pfizer booster becomes available to those who have received two Pfizer doses,” Oakland County Health Division Medical Director Dr. Russell Faust said. “Those who are unsure about whether to get a vaccine or booster or have questions should consult a healthcare provider.”
