These formulas of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for individuals 12 years of age and older.<\/p>\n<p>The updated boosters target both the original strain of <strong>SARS-CoV-2<\/strong> and <strong>omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5<\/strong>. The aim of the COVID-19 vaccine campaign is to generate the strongest and broadest immunity against the virus.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/\">Pegasus Senior Living<\/a> spoke with their Health and Wellness Director, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/leadership-team\/dr-sandra-petersen\/\">Dr. Sandra Petersen<\/a>, to get the latest information. Discover why the booster is the best way for <strong>older adults to protect themselves<\/strong> against the ongoing pandemic.<\/p>\n<h2>The Importance of a COVID-19 Booster Shot<\/h2>\n<p>The health of Pegasus Senior Living residents and team members is always our top priority. We are strongly encouraging everyone to get vaccinated against COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>The initial vaccine is essential. It&#8217;s equally important to get a booster shot to protect against all virus variants.<\/p>\n<p>Although the initial vaccine is effective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/coronavirus-covid-19\/vaccine-boosters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data suggests<\/a> a booster shot may be necessary to generate the strongest and broadest immunity against all variants of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>A bivalent booster focused on the original COVID-19 strain can help accomplish this goal. Any changes to this strategy would require clinical testing. However, that&#8217;s nearly impossible since there just aren&#8217;t enough adults who haven&#8217;t been infected or vaccinated to perform a valid test.<\/p>\n<p>Another unknown is whether the BA.4\/BA.5 omicron subvariants will continue to be the dominant viruses. There is always the chance of needing modified vaccines for different variants. It\u2019s similar to the updated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/blog\/tips-seniors-flu-season-2022\/\">influenza vaccines<\/a> each year.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the <strong>Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yalemedicine.org\/news\/covid-19-variants-of-concern-omicron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weekly updates<\/a> on omicron variants and subvariants results.<\/p>\n<p>Ensure that you are protected against all variants of the virus by getting a booster shot.<\/p>\n<h2>Who should get these updated boosters?<\/h2>\n<p>The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 bivalent booster dose is authorized as a single booster dose in people ages 12 years and older. The Moderna COVID-19 bivalent booster dose is approved for use as a single booster dose in individuals 18 years of age and older.<\/p>\n<p>Talk to your health care provider about whether or not these bivalent vaccines are right for you. Even with prior vaccination, discussing this with your doctor is best.<\/p>\n<h2>What do the EUAs mean?<\/h2>\n<p>The EUAs for the updated boosters mean that they can be distributed and administered in the U.S. However, it is important to note that these are not yet licensed vaccines; they are still in the investigational stage. Licensure requires submitting additional data to the FDA for review and approval.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Benefits of Covid Boosters?<\/h2>\n<p>By targeting the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 and omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, these updated vaccines provide an additional layer of protection against COVID-19. Consider the <strong>booster especially important as we continue to see new virus variants emerge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Pegasus Senior Living: Providing Regular COVID-19 Updates<\/h2>\n<p>Our communities are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/covid-19-information\/\">doing their part<\/a> to help stop the spread of the virus. We were all impacted by it, but seniors are at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA&#8217;s authorization of these updated boosters is good news for those seeking additional protection against COVID-19. If you fall into the eligible age range, talk to your health care provider about whether or not these vaccines are right for you.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and to get a booster shot as soon as possible. A booster shot can help protect you and everyone else.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Learn More at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Community Near You<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/communities\/\">Contact a Pegasus Senior Living community near you<\/a> if you have any questions about the vaccine or booster shots.
