Although the updated boosters have been available since September, only a small percentage of Americans have gotten one.
The Food and Drug Administration authorized bivalent COVID-19 boosters for children as young as 6 months on Thursday. The boosters have an updated formulation that offers additional protection to the omicron variant of the virus.Eligibility for the booster shot depends on vaccination status. Young children who received two shots of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine are eligible for the booster two months after their second shot.
Young children who previously completed Pfizer’s three-shot vaccination series are not currently eligible for the booster. The FDA said health and safety data will be available in January, which will be used on whether to authorize the shot.
