HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Health Department has the new bivalent COVID-19 Moderna boosters in as of Thursday, according to Reno County Health Department Director Karla Nichols.
Nichols said they hope to get the Pfizer version in the coming days. That booster is for ages 12 and over, and was created to help fight both the original strain and the Omicron variant.
The old single strain COVID shot is now only authorized as primary and secondary doses to those who have never had the COVID-19 vaccine before.
You only have to have had the original two doses to get the new bivalent booster. The Health Department plans to release more information early next week.
