Keep living life to the fullest by staying up to date with vaccinations — including Kaiser's® new booster shot.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is now recommending people 12 and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine booster for better protection against the omicron variants. These variants are currently causing most COVID-19 cases in the U.S. Kaiser Permanente® will be giving updated boosters as supply allows and according to CDC guidance. Supply may be limited in the first few weeks. Kaiser expects to have enough supply to provide updated boosters to all eligible members soon. The original Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are no longer authorized as boosters for people 12 years of age and older. If members previously scheduled a booster appointment, they will be provided the updated booster at that time.
Visit kp.org/covidvaccine for more information about how to get the updated booster shot.
