The Butler Health System will administer the updated COVID vaccine booster shots starting today.
Recently the CDC recommended that people 12 years and older who have received a primary vaccination and first booster at least two months ago should receive the new booster.
This new booster targets the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 strains of the virus as well as the original COVID virus.
Clinic sessions for this new booster will be held at Clarion Hospital from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. today as well as 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow. The vaccine clinic at the Butler Health System Crossroads Campus will be tomorrow (Friday) 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Appointments can be made by visiting the Butler Health System website. No walk-ins will be accepted.
