The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently authorized updated (bivalent) booster doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 6–17 and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 and older.
This authorization now means that all individuals ages 5 and older are eligible to receive the updated COVID-19 booster.
Anyone interested in receiving a COVID-19 booster through UI Health Care can schedule a vaccination through MyChart or visit uihc.org/covid-vaccine.
Employees and volunteers who wish to receive an updated COVID-19 booster can do so from 7:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Pediatric Conference Center (Elevator F, Level 2), with no appointment necessary.
