Bivalent COVID-19 Vaccine Information.
CDC updated COVID-19 vaccination recommendations in May 2023 as the monovalent vaccine is longer available. Bivalent COVID-19 vaccine will be used for all vaccinations whether it is your first dose or an additional dose. CDC recommends everyone 6 years and older to get 1 bivalent vaccine to be considered up to date. People aged 65 and older may get a 2nd dose of bivalent vaccine if it has been at least 4 months from your previous dose. People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get an additional dose of bivalent vaccine. Children aged 6 months - 5 years of age may need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccine to be up to date including one dose of bivalent vaccine, depending on the number of doses they've previously received and their age.
