Date: Sep 14, 2022

Campus Health is offering – at no cost – the newly FDA-approved Moderna and Pfizer bivalent COVID-19 boosters to eligible University students, faculty, staff and designated campus colleagues (DCCs).  

These new shots, which target the latest version of the omicron variant, are now the only available boosters for eligible populations. If you already received a non-bivalent booster, you are eligible for a bivalent boost vaccine if it has been at least two months since the last vaccine dose was received.

Below are the eligibility criteria for the new booster:

  • The Moderna bivalent booster is available to those ages 18 and older.
  • The bivalent boosters are only available to those who received the two-shot primary series of the mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine (and who are 18 or older). 
  • Those who recently received an initial vaccine shot or a booster should wait at least two months before getting the new bivalent booster. 
  • Those who are ages 18 or older who had the primary series with WHO EUL-listed vaccines are only eligible to receive the Pfizer bivalent booster and should wait at least two months after they receive their last vaccine dose. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers an online tool on this webpage to help you determine when to get a booster.
