The new COVID-19 booster is available at the Warm Springs Health & Wellness Center and scheduling is now open. The updated booster can both help restore protection that has waned since previous vaccination and provide broader protection against the newer BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants. It’s recommended that any person age 12 and older who has not received a COVID-19 booster in the past 2 months, get this new vaccine. Call the clinic for an appointment.
