People ages 5 years and older should get an updated Pfizer or Moderna booster.
Make sure you have:
- Had your primary series COVID vaccine (first 2 shots or 3 if you have certain health issues)
- Had your most recent shot more than 2 months ago
The updated booster protects you more against COVID-19. In September 2022, the updated boosters were approved by the CDC and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are “bivalent” (two strains) which target the COVID Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 strains.
The updated booster also targets the original COVID strain. You can now get the updated boosters in San Francisco. Visit sfhp.org/coronavirus-resources to stay up to date with COVID info.
