Booster FAQs
- The new bivalent boosters are here! What is a bivalent booster?
Until now, the COVID-19 vaccines have targeted the original strain. The variants of COVID-19 have made this vaccine a little less effective over time. This new bivalent booster protects against the original strain and the new Omicron variant (BA.4/BA.5 variants)
- Who is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine? What about booster doses?
Everyone ages 6 months and older should complete a 2-dose primary series of the COVID-19 vaccine, followed by a bivalent booster dose at least 2 months later. To learn more, visit the COVID-19 eligibility chart at myturn.ca.gov.
- Where do I get the new booster?
We currently offer patients and non-patients vaccines and boosters at our weekly Health Hubs – no appointment is necessary. To schedule an appointment, please contact us at 415-448-1500.
