Sept. 6: The updated new bivalent COVID-19 recalls can be administered in Oregon now that the final step in the review and approval procedure has been carried out, according to the state’s most sensible health official.
“With a wonderful thank you to the Western States Scientific Safety Review Task Force for its continued commitment, I am pleased to say that the organization met last night and reaffirmed approval of the new updated bivalent recall through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ” said Dean Sidelinger, M. D. MSEd, fitness clerk and state epidemiologist with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). “With this agreement, we can begin to provide the full withdrawal of the running organization in the coming days. “
Updated boosters are a single dose that can be given at least two months after finishing an initial two-dose series of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or a single dose of the Johnson vaccine.
“Through recommendations from the FDA, CDC, and the Western States Scientific Safety Review Task Force, Oregonians can be assured that the newest booster injections from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are effective in combating infections and serious illnesses caused by the Omicron variant. “said Gov. Kate Brown. ” Vaccines remain a must-have tool to protect you and your circle of family members from COVID-19, and I encourage all eligible Oregonians to get your booster as soon as possible. Although COVID-19 has declined in recent months, it remains the third leading cause of death in the United States, and vaccines are the most effective tool for preventing serious illness and death. “
Booster seats can be administered regardless of the series of vaccines the user has received. The Moderna bivalent booster seat is only allowed for others over the age of 18; The Pfizer booster may be given to others who are at least 12 years of age or older.
The new thrusters began arriving in Oregon on Thursday and continued with more shipments today. Additional deliveries are planned for next week.
The OHA recommends that those interested first obtain the new recall from their provider, to see when the recall is available, or check out the OHA COVID-19 blog or obtain Vaccinated Oregon for locations in the state.
