Booster Shots Now Available for Older Adults
The FDA has just approved COVID-19 booster shots for people aged 65 years or older. Right now, booster shots are only available to people who received the Pfizer vaccine series. A booster shot is an additional, 3rd shot of the same formula that will increase protection against COVID-19.
As of Friday, many locations in Los Angeles have started to offer Pfizer booster shots. To find out where to receive a booster shot, click here.
