Updated COVID-19 booster shots are now available in the Empire State for children ages five and older to help protect them against the virus.
It's recommended people in that age group receive a bivalent booster dose at least two months after finishing their initial vaccine series or following their last booster or additional vaccine dose. So far, over one-million bivalent booster doses have been distributed to people 12 and older in New York State. To find a vaccination clinic in your area, go to vaccines.gov.
