CHP Mobile Health Second Booster Now Offered

Print Story | Email Story
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Mobile Health now offers a second Covid-19 booster for adults 65 and older, and for others of any age with compromised immune systems.
 
Community Health Programs (CHP) will provide these CDC-approved senior boosters at least four months after the first booster was received. Most people with weakened immunity can receive this booster within two months of a prior booster. 
 
Berkshire area residents may visit chpberkshires.org/mobile or call (413) 528-0457 for information and CHP Mobile Health locations. Appointments are encouraged but not required. 
 
The FDA has also approved the elimination of the multi-injection monovalent Covid-19 series and replacing that protocol with a single bivalent vaccine. This vaccine is appropriate for anyone who has not previously been vaccinated against Covid-19. 
 
Earlier in April, the CDC approved a Covid-19 booster for children 6 months through age 4. The Pfizer BioNTech version of this pediatric booster is available on with CHP Mobile Health, but parents are urged to call (413) 528-0457 to confirm their child’s eligibility based on their vaccine history.
