Bivalent Vaccines Eligibility for 5+

Most individuals who have already received a single dose of the bivalent vaccine are NOT currently eligible for another dose. However: The FDA has approved a second bivalent booster for the following population:

• Age 65 years and older who have already received a single dose of the bivalent vaccine (1 dose/min of 4 months from last BV dose)

• Immunocompromised who have received a bivalent Covid-19 vaccine (1 dose/min of 4 months from the last BV dose) and additional doses may be administered at the discretion of, and at intervals determined by, their healthcare provider.

  • Any immunocompromised individuals ages 6 months through 4 years, will vary in eligibility for a second bivalent vaccine depending on the vaccine previously received. ​
