“As we approach the December holiday season, it’s the ideal time to get the updated booster if you haven’t done so already. Research and data continue to show that the best way to stay safe as we gather with friends and family is to get the updated booster and the flu shot,” Bhalla said in a statement.
“I also encourage parents to consider the booster shot for their children as well, including the newly eligible age group of six months to five years of age. Thank you to the Hudson Regional Health Commission, as well as County Executive Tom DeGise and Commissioner Anthony Romano, for helping provide these critical resources to our residents, free of charge.”
The city will partner with the Hudson Regional Health Commission tommorow for a clinic at 605 Jackson St. between 3 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.
Residents six months old and older who received their primary vaccine dose at least two months ago with the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 bivalent vaccines, or “updated boosters,” are eligible.
The clinic will also offer COVID-19 vaccines, updated boosters to those previously eligible, and a limited supply of seasonal flu vaccines to those 18 years old and older.
Appointments can be made online and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Residents can book an appointment here.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded eligibility for the updated booster this month.
Children ages 6 months through 5 years who previously completed a Moderna primary series are eligible to receive a Moderna bivalent booster 2 months after their final primary series dose.
Meanwhile, children ages 6 months through 4 years who are currently completing a Pfizer primary series will receive a Pfizer bivalent vaccine as their third primary dose.
Absolutely moronic. Didn’t Ravi get the ChiCom virus already?
There’s natural immunity and then abject stupidity. Only 11% of Americans are falling for the failed clot shot. Gee, Ravi will do anything for another government job.
contrary to the latest “data” from the unemployed basement-dwelling trump-worshiping lyme jockey, over 90% of new jersey residents are partially vaccinated and 75% are fully vaccinated.

Guess no one told Ravi that he was taking a useless risk. Even CNBC admitted the Omicron variants are not stopped by the failed jab. Who’s trying to bump Ravi off? Doesn’t he have a single literate person on his staff to tell him anything?
The only reaction from this latest “booster” is Ravi getting ill.
