The chart below is the current CDC Recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines.
To summarize current recommendations: Everyone aged 6 months and up should receive a primary series of COVID-19
vaccine. Everyone 5 years or older should receive an updated BIvalent
booster at least 8 weeks after completing your primary vaccine series
or at least 8 weeks after their most recent MONOvalent booster.
Butler Vaccine Clinic
Pediatric (6 month to under 12 years) Vaccines
For primary monovalent vaccine series, the BHS Vaccine Clinic is administering
the Moderna vaccine for ages 6 months to under 5 years, and the Pfizer
vaccine for ages 5 years to under 12 years at Butler Memorial Hospital
Nixon-Sarver room (Tower Entrance), 1 Hospital Way, Butler, PA. Second
doses will be given at least 4 weeks after the first.
For children 5 years to under 12, BHS Vaccine Clinic is also offering Pfizer
BIVALENT boosters. This booster should be received at least 8 weeks after
completing primary series. If a child previously received a MONOvalent
booster, they may still receive a Bivalent booster as long as at least
8 weeks have passed since their most recent COVID-19 vaccine. (Children
12 years and older receive the adult bivalent booster; see below for schedule.)
Saturday clinics are currently available; all children must be accompanied
by a parent or legal guardian.

Novavax (protein subunit) Primary Vaccine The BHS Vaccine Clinic will be offering the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine overlapping
with other vaccine clinics. The Novavax vaccine is a protein subunit vaccine,
meaning the recipient is vaccinated with proteins identical to the spike
protein of the virus. There is no mRNA or adenovirus in the vaccine. The
Novavax vaccine is authorized as a primary series only (cannot be used
as a booster), for people aged 12 years and older. The vaccine series
is two doses, four weeks apart. The CDC recommends a bivalent mRNA booster
at least 8 weeks after the second dose of Novavax.
Novavax Vaccine Dates & Times Saturday, December 3: 9:30 am – 12:30 pm at
Butler Memorial Hospital, Nixon-Sarver Room

& older. This vaccine is only for a booster, and includes targets
for the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 strains (as well as original strain of the
virus). If it has been more than 2 months since your last COVID-19 vaccine
and you are 12 years of age or older, you should receive this booster.
