BREAKING: The FDA has now authorized bivalent COVID-19 boosters for everyone 6 months and older.
booster, available from both Pfizer and Moderna, was previously authorized"More children now have the opportunity to update their protection against COVID-19 with a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine, and we encourage parents and caregivers of those eligible to consider doing so -- especially as we head into the holidays and winter months where more time will be spent indoors," FDA Commissioner Robert Califf said in a statement.
"As this virus has changed, and immunity from previous COVID-19 vaccination wanes, the more people who keep up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations, the more benefit there will be for individuals, families and public health by helping prevent severe illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths."Children are eligible to receive the booster at least two months from the completion of their primary series or after receiving a separate booster dose.
