Contact covidvaccine@uta.edu with questions. Bivalent COVID‑19 booster eligibility The bivalent booster protects against both the original virus that causes COVID‑19 and Omicron variants. The CDC recommends that you receive one bivalent booster if it has been at least two months since your last COVID‑19 vaccine dose, whether that was your final primary series dose or an original (monovalent) booster. People who have had more than one original (monovalent) booster are also recommended to get a bivalent (updated) booster. If you do not presently qualify for a bivalent booster shot, please continue to monitor the CDC’s guidelines for updates. |
