COVID boosters

The public is likely to be exposed to coronavirus, flu, and RSV in the coming months. Here’s what people should know about these viruses and the available vaccines.

Graham McKeen, IU’s director of public and environmental health, said residents shouldn’t be worried, but should be aware.

Many who received the bivalent booster vaccine last fall are eligible to get another booster six months post-vaccination.

Vaccinating kids limits the spread of the virus, says Dr. Jose Romero of the CDC, and vaccinating older siblings protects younger siblings under six months of age for whom we still don't have a vaccine.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention authorized the pediatric Pfizer booster dose earlier in the week.
