Announcements
September 7, 2022
Starting Friday, September 9, 2022, we will begin administering the new Pfizer bivalent boosters for ages 12 and older.
September 2, 2022
Yesterday (9/1/22), an advisory panel for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) endorsed Pfizer’s bivalent booster for people ages 12 and older as well as Moderna’s bivalent booster for adults ages 18 and older. The updated boosters are reformulated to protect against both the original COVID-19 strain and the most recent omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, the latter of which is dominant across the U.S. and Hawaii with both strains accounting for 95% of all COVID-19 cases in Hawaii now.
The CDC continues to recommend Pfizer’s monovalent boosters for children ages 5 through 11.
The state Department of Health has placed an initial order for the “updated boosters” and expect arrival within a few days. Maui Health’s vaccine clinic will administer the updated (bivalent) booster as soon as they are received. In the interim, our vaccine clinic will still administer the monovalent booster dose for children ages 5 through 11 only, and will continue to administer all primary, secondary, and third doses to individuals six months of age and older.
