UK St. Claire Now Offering COVID-19 Bivalent Booster

Due to significantly changing variants of the SARS-CoV 2 (COVID-19) virus, the FDA and CDC now recommend people ages 12 years and older receive a bivalent mRNA booster. The bivalent booster, also referred to as an “updated booster,” contains two components to fight both the original strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as the omicron variant.

Patients are eligible for the bivalent booster two months after the completion of a primary vaccination series or booster. Those recently diagnosed with COVID-19, may receive the bivalent booster once they are out of isolation and no longer experiencing symptoms.

UK St. Claire is now offering the bivalent booster. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 606.783.7539.
