COVID-19 Vaccine

COVID-19 Booster Shots

Public Health now has the COVID-19 Pfizer Bivalent Booster. A bivalent vaccine is designed to protect against two different antigens, such as two different viruses or variants of viruses. There are several multivalent vaccines available in the US to protect against many diseases. The updated COVID-19 boosters, also known as bivalent boosters, target the most recent Omicron subvariants.

Call us at 715-246-8376 for your booster.

To be eligible for this booster:

• You must be 12 years of age or older
• You must have completed your primary series (2 Pfizer vaccines, 2 Moderna vaccines, or 1 Janssen vaccine) and
• It has been at least 2 months since your last COVID vaccine (whether that was primary series completion, booster, or multiple boosters).

If you are looking for a booster for someone under the age of 12, call us to talk about your options.

Learn more about booster recommendations from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).

After Vaccination

Continue to wear a mask when indoors with unvaccinated people from more than one household or when attending crowded, outdoor events. Fully vaccinated people should also continue wearing a mask and practice physical distancing when visiting unvaccinated people who are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease. You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after you have received your second dose in a two-dose series, or one dose of a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. (Pfizer and Moderna are both 2-dose vaccines and Johnson & Johnson is a single dose vaccine.) You are considered up-to-date on your COVID-19 vaccinations when you have completed the primary series or shot and you have received your booster (once you are eligible).

Fully vaccinated people can: 

• Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.
• Visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are all at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease, indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing.

• Take precautions in public and when visiting unvaccinated people including:
