Harris County Public Health will administer updated COVID-19 booster shots to children 6 months and older on Friday.
Harris County Public Health announced starting on Friday, they will administer updated Moderna COVID-19 booster shots to children 6-months-old to 5-years-old. Updated Pfizer booster shots will be offered to children 6-months-old to 4-years-old at all HCPH vaccination sites.
The updated COVID-19 booster vaccine offers higher protection against the original COVID-19 strains and the Omicron variant.
With the expanded eligibility, officials say the original Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is no longer authorized as a third primary series dose in children aged six-months to 4, and will not be offered at HCPH sites moving forward.
