COVID-19 Vaccinations
Receive a bivalent booster from McLeod County Public Health
CDC now recommends that:
- Most unvaccinated people should receive a single dose of a COVID-19 bivalent vaccine, rather than multiple doses of the original monovalent mRNA vaccines.
- For people previously vaccinated with a monovalent COVID-19 vaccine, who have not yet received a dose of a bivalent vaccine, a single dose of a bivalent vaccine is recommended.
- People 65 years of age and older who have received a single dose of a bivalent vaccine may receive one additional dose at least four months following their initial bivalent dose.
- People who are immunocompromised should speak to their health care provider about additional vaccine doses.
McLeod County continues to offer the Moderna vaccine (12 years +). To learn more about vaccination and booster doses, including types and eligibility, visit the Minnesota Department of Health COVID-19 vaccine website.
