Health News
The CDC recently approved an updated (bivalent) booster for people ages 5+. Individuals must have completed the primary series (2 doses) and be at least 2 months out from their last dose (primary or booster) to receive the updated bivalent booster. More information is available on the CDC's website.
- The guidance for children ages 6 months to 4 years is unchanged - vaccination is encouraged.
- Now is also a great time to receive a flu shot. This can be done during the same appointment.
- People may schedule an appointment for vaccine, including the updated bivalent booster and influenza vaccine, through immunizepolk.com, Hy-Vee, Walgreens, or CVS. Local healthcare providers may have limited supplies of the updated bivalent booster initially.
For more information on steps you can take to help keep everyone healthy this school year, please see this DMPS post.
