(WXYZ) — The City of Detroit is now providing COVID-19 booster shots from all drugmakers at all vaccination sites.

Health officials say Moderna, Pfizer and J&J booster shots are available at all vaccination sites after the FDA approval.

Those who are 18 and up may get the booster if they completed their Pfizer or Moderna two-shot vaccine series at least six months prior or their Johnson & Johnson single shot at least two months prior.

People may choose which vaccine booster they want.

"We have ample supplies of vaccines, and that includes booster doses for everyone who is now eligible to receive them," Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said in a release. "Vaccines remain the best tool we have available for protection from COVID-19. I am encouraging all Detroiters to get their booster dose now, before the holidays. And, if you haven’t been vaccinated, please do so now."

Any ages 18 and older is eligible for the booster shots, the CDC is highly recommending the following groups to receive them:

  • Detroit residents 65 years and older
  • Detroit residents 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19 due to underlying health conditions
