A new booster shot to target the latest version of the Omicron variant is available.

There is an urge to get people vaccinated by Halloween as a precaution for Thanksgiving.

This new shot is more advanced. It targets two versions; the original strain, and the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5. The previous booster shot only targets the original version of the virus.

It might not be as easy getting the vaccine as it should be since many mass-vaccination clinics has closed. Luckily, it is available at pharmacies and community health centers. 

The age-criteria for this booster are 5-years old. It is recommended by doctors and immunologists that you should wait 4-6 months after last shot or infection.
