COVID-19 Vaccines (for children 6 MONTHS and older) and New Boosters (for children 5 years and older) are now available in our office.

This is to inform you that we have the Pfizer Bivalent COVID Booster Vaccine.
The Pfizer bivalent booster vaccine is recommended for children age 5 years and older if they have received the primary vaccine series (Dose 1 and Dose 2) or a booster at least two months before. This updated booster was formulated to protect against the original strain of COVID-19 as well as the newer Omicron variant.
It is important for everyone to stay up to date with the recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses. Please refer to CDC’s Stay Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines, including Boosters. COVID-19 vaccines continue to protect people by preventing severe illness, complications, hospitalizations, and deaths.
