PLEASE GET YOUR COVID-19 VACCINES & BOOSTER SHOTS.
Who Is eligible for a COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shot? According to the Center for Disease Control people who are eligible are those who are 65 years and older, long-term care residents and staff, people age 18 and above who have underlying medical conditions, and who work or live-in high-risk settings such as first responders, healthcare workers, school personnel, and grocery store workers.
Why do I need a Booster Shot if I had the initial COVID-19 Vaccine? According to the CDC studies have shown that vaccine effectiveness has decreased since you received it and may be less effective against the Delta Variant.
The COVID-19 Vaccine Booster shot will be distributed at 800 locations in Connecticut according to the Department of Public Health’s website. The COVID-19 Vaccine & Booster Shots are FREE. To find one please go to https://portal.ct.gov/Vaccine-Portal?language=en_US.
When you schedule your appointment for the booster shot don't forget to bring your COVID-19 Vaccination card you received after your first shot. The Department of Public Health stated that there is an adequate number of vaccines available.
According to the Connecticut DPH website "Furthermore, the COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States continue to be remarkably effective in reducing the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even against the widely circulating Delta variant." They mentioned that all severe cases of people who contracted the disease, are hospitalized and death are among the unvaccinated. Please do not become this fatality. The CDC states people can now mix and match their vaccines.
On Tuesday, November 2, 2021 the CDC gave its approval for children ages 5-11 to get the Pediatric COVID-19 Pfizer BioNTech Vaccine. According to the CDC’s website it states “Vaccination, along with other preventative measures, can protect children from COVID-19 using the safe and effective vaccines already recommended for use in adolescents and adults in the United States.”
CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky stated ““Together, with science leading the charge, we have taken another important step forward in our nation’s fight against the virus that causes COVID-19. We know millions of parents are eager to get their children vaccinated and with this decision, we now have recommended that about 28 million children receive a COVID-19 vaccine. As a mom, I encourage parents with questions to talk to their pediatrician, school nurse or local pharmacist to learn more about the vaccine and the importance of getting their children vaccinated.”
