Below we share two important, recent updates related to COVID-19 vaccines.
Bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine as Booster Dose for Certain Children Ages 6 Months through 4 Years
On Thursday, March 16, CDC recommended the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent vaccine as a booster for children ages 6 months-4 years. See the CDC recommendation.
These recommendations follows FDA’s March 14 amendment of the emergency use authorization (EUA) of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent vaccine.
Moderna Monovalent COVID-19 Vaccine Expiration
The Moderna monovalent COVID-19 vaccine for ages 6+ expires in early April. Consult CDC’s web content on interchangeability of COVID-19 vaccine products for guidance on completing primary series vaccination for patients who have received an initial dose or doses of the Moderna monovalent vaccine.
CDC also offers guidance on disposing of expired vaccine product on its Identifying, Disposing, and Reporting COVID-19 Vaccine Wastage website.
