COVID-19 Boosters

Pfizer-BioNTech Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters

On August 31, 2022 a new Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent booster received emergency use authorization from the FDA.

The Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent COVID-19 vaccine is made in the same way as Pfizer-BioNTech monovalent COVID-19 vaccine but it also contains an Omicron component to help prevent COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2. This vaccine alteration is similar to what is done with the flu vaccine - adjusting to include the more prevalent strands each year to remain effective.

• If you had a severe reaction to the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, you should reach out to your primary care provider to discuss the next appropriate plan of action.
• If you have previously had a severe reaction to any other vaccine, please plan to remain at the administration site for 30 minutes after vaccination for monitoring.
