The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its recommendations to now include the new bivalent COVID-19 booster for children as young as six months old who received a primary vaccination series or booster shot at least two months ago. The booster targets Omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants, in addition to the original coronavirus strain.
Federal health officials believe the shots will provide the best level of protection against the highly transmissible COVID-19 variants currently circulating. It is especially important to be up to date on vaccines during this time of year when families and friends gather for end-of-the-year holidays and celebrations.
