As Salamu Alaikum Dear Community,
The FDA and CDC recently approved new “bivalent” COVID vaccine formulations manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer.
The authorized bivalent COVID-19 vaccines, or updated boosters, include an mRNA component of the original strain and an mRNA component of the Omicron variant (BA.4 and BA.5 lineages).
The BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the Omicron variant are currently causing most cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. and are predicted to circulate this fall and winter. In June, the agency’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted overwhelmingly to include an omicron component in COVID-19 booster vaccines.
When am I eligible to receive a single Bivalent booster dose?
Moderna: Individuals 18 years of age or older if it has been at least two months since they have completed primary vaccination or have received the most recent booster dose with any authorized or approved monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.
Pfizer: Individuals 12 years of age or older if it has been at least two months since they have completed primary vaccination or have received the most recent booster dose with any authorized or approved monovalent COVID-19 vaccine.
Please register today to receive your vaccine, booster & flu shots.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. None of the COVID-19 vaccines contain the virus so a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.
-
No. The vaccine will not make you test positive on viral tests. Viral tests look for viral RNA or antigen, which is only present when the virus exists in the body. You may test positive on antibody tests, which look for protective antibodies. This is okay as the goal of the vaccination is to help you develop antibodies to fight off the virus.
-
Please note if you catch COVID-19 after vaccination, you can test positive on a COVID-19 test. So, please follow the mask mandate even after vaccination.
-
If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated?
-
Yes. Experts do not know how long someone is protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Current evidence suggests that getting the virus again is uncommon in the 90 days after the first infection.
-
Yes. COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick with COVID-19.
-
No. COVID-19 vaccine contains messenger RNA (mRNA). This does not change or interact with your DNA in any way. mRNA never enters the nucleus of a cell, where DNA is kept. mRNA is a set of instructions (“recipe”) that tells the cell protein-making machinery to produce the antibodies needed to fight off the virus. The mRNA is broken down once the instructions have been used.
-
Yes. People who want to get pregnant in the future may receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine, like other vaccines, works by training our bodies to develop antibodies to fight against the virus that causes COVID-19, to prevent future illness. There is currently no evidence that antibodies formed from the COVID-19 vaccination cause any problems with pregnancy. There is no evidence suggesting that fertility problems are a side effect of ANY vaccine.
-
The two COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the US do not contain eggs, preservatives, latex, gelatin or fetal cells.
-
This is incorrect. The vaccine developers did not skip any testing steps. Rather, they conducted some of the steps on an overlapping schedule to gather data faster. The developers also received the viral genetic material early during the pandemic, so they were able to start working early. They also used a development process that allowed them to start early.
-
There are short-term mild or moderate vaccine reactions that resolve without complication or injury. About 15% of people develop short-lived symptoms at the site of the injection. 50% develop systemic reactions primarily headache, chills, fatigue or muscle pain or fever lasting for a day or two. Keep in mind that these side effects are indicators that your immune system is responding to the vaccine and are common when receiving vaccines.
-
There is no vaccine microchip, and the vaccine will not track people or gather personal information into a database. This myth started after comments made by Bill Gates from The Gates Foundation about a digital certificate of vaccine records. The technology he was referencing is not a microchip, has not been implemented in any manner and is not tied to the development, testing or distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
