"We still have to worry about long COVID, so we have to make sure we're doing what we can to protect ourselves at the highest level possible," said Dr. Delana Wardlaw of Temple Health.The US Food and Drug Administration and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on updated boosters that target the original strain of the coronavirus as well as the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5.
"We still have to worry about long COVID, so we have to make sure we're doing what we can to protect ourselves at the highest level possible," said Dr. Delana Wardlaw of Temple Health.The Moderna bivalent booster is for those 18 years and older and the Pfizer booster is for those 12 years and older. This new booster is not yet authorized for children under the age of 12, so they will receive the original booster instead.
"I think we all as human beings, when the medical profession recommends something, I think we all should get it, listen to what they're saying," said James Baffa of Broomall. "I want to see how the numbers work and I want to see the efficacy and see if there's any side effects of the new one," said Marianne of Delaware County. "So I'm going to wait."Delaware already received 5,100 doses, with more on the way.In Delaware County, you can already make an appointment to receive the bivalent shot at participating pharmacies.
