Though appointments are encouraged, walk-ins will be accepted.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration amended the emergency use authorizations of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent COVID-19 vaccine Oct. 12 to authorize their use as a single booster dose in younger age groups.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended a single dose of the new COVID-19 bivalent booster doses at least two months following a completed primary series or monovalent booster vaccination.
Those who received a primary vaccine and booster dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least two months ago can now receive a second booster dose using an mRNA COVID-19 bivalent vaccine.
People should consult with their healthcare provider to determine whether to get a second booster.
Those ages 5 to 17 need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
