Mask wearing is recommended in indoor spaces. A second booster is also recommended for adults 50 and over it should be at least four months after the first booster and should be an mRNA (Moderna or Pfizer) vaccine. Officials at the Centers for Disease Control recommend that everyone 5 and older get a booster shot five months after receiving a two-course dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine and two months after receiving a single dose of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen vaccine. Those who work remotely will not be required to get the vaccine.
