No information on the website about which boosters will be offered. Looking for bivalent #2.

The link to the county website says: If you have additional questions or need assistance making a vaccine appointment, call the Washington State COVID-19 Information Hotline at 1-800-525-0127.

This is a great question! I’ve contacted Othello Station Pharmacy, and they’ve confirmed that both Moderna and Pfizer bivalent vaccines #1 and #2 will be offered at the Southwest Library. Eligibility to receive your second bivalent vaccine is:1. At least 4 months since your #1 bivalent has passed2. You are at least 65 years old OR are immunocompromised according to CDC guidelinesIf you have questions about your eligibility for a second bivalent vaccine, please speak with your doctor or swing by the clinic at the Southwest Branch. The friendly Othello Station Pharmacy folks will be there to answer your questions!

Drug companies have been tasked by CDC to have a shot available by late fall that includes whatever variant is currently out there. I’m fully vaxed but intend on waiting for this shot, which will be a full shot not a bivalent booster.

Sorry, comment time is over.
