What You Need to Know regarding Bivalent Booster doses

Updated COVID-19 boosters can both help restore protection that has decreased since previous vaccination and provide broader protection against newer variants.  The updated, bivalent boosters, target the most recent Omicron sub variants, BA.4 and BA.5, that are more contagious and more resistant than earlier strains of omicron.

When are you up to date?

You are up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines if you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC.  Vaccine recommendations are based on your age, the vaccine you first received, and time since your last dose.  People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines.

What you need to know regarding Boosters

Please check the CDC website for updates. Vaccine boosters are also recommended for any persons who received a Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine two or more months ago. Individuals can choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. Press release: https://sf.gov/news/sf-opens-covid-19-boosters-broadly-adults-avoid-winter-surge
