GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Community Health Programs (CHP) Berkshires Mobile Health team now offers the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric bivalent booster shots for children 6 months through age 4.
These boosters are free.
CHP Mobile Health clinics are held at multiple locations each week around Berkshire County, and the schedule can be found at chpberkshires.org/mobile. These booster shots are free.
The Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent pediatric booster shots are available to children who received three Pfizer-BioNTech primary Covid-19 vaccines of the monovalent type.
