CDC recommends that people ages 5 years and older receive one updated (bivalent) booster if it has been at least 2 months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose, whether that was:
- Their final primary series dose, or
- An original (monovalent) booster
People who have received more than one original (monovalent) booster are also recommended to get an updated (bivalent) booster. The updated (bivalent) boosters protects against both the original virus that causes COVID-19 and the Omicron variants.
You can obtain the updated booster at the same time as other vaccines, including your flu shot. To find a vaccination site, please visit: https://www.vaccines.gov/ or by calling 1-800-232-0233.
