CAVHCS is administering Moderna updated COVID-19 booster shots

News & Announcements

The updated COVID-19 boosters are now available at CAVHCS.

On August 31, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized updated COVID-19 vaccine boosters that protect against both the original virus strain and the Omicron variant.

The monovalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines, which have been used for both initial series and booster doses throughout the pandemic, are no longer authorized by FDA for use as boosters, effective immediately. Monovalent vaccines are still available for those who need a primary series and are effective at preventing severe illness from COVID-19.
