The new Pfizer bivalent booster is approved for people 12 years and older.

The new Moderna bivalent booter is available for anyone 18 years and older.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna shots are considered booster vaccines

You must have already received the primary series of Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, Novavax or Pfizer vaccines to be eligible for the bivalent boosters

You may have already had 1 or 2 additional COVID-19 boosters.  The CDC is still highly recommending that you get the new bivalent booster, since it is more effective against the Omicron variant. 

These new bivalent boosters can be given two months after primary vaccination or a previous booster. 

You cannot get the new bivalent booster sooner than 2 months after your last COVID-19 vaccine. 

You can get the seasonal influenza vaccine at the same time you get this booster.  Just let the medical assistant know at the time of your COVID-19 booster.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO SCHEDULE A SEPARATE APPOINTMENT.

Please choose “Nurse Visit -  Vaccine” as your “Reason for visit” on our website dtcfamilyhealth.com or on our patient portal. 

 If you already have a scheduled office appointment, you can get the booster at your office visit.

These boosters are considered interchangeable – it is your personal preference which booster you receive.

 We are opening the COVID-19 booster schedule one week at a time because to ensure we have adequate supplies.

If you have recently had COVID-19, the CDC recommends waiting 3 months after the infection to get a booster.
