“We could be getting those updated boosters here in Salt Lake County as early as tomorrow, Friday, or perhaps Tuesday next week, but we just don't know,' said Salt Lake County Health Department spokesperson Gabriel Moreno.
SALT LAKE CITY — The CDC has signed off on new COVID boosters that target the dominant omicron subvariants. Pfizer also plans to ask the FDA to also authorize the new boosters for children ages five to 11 years old in early October.
“Our staff are standing ready," said Moreno."And as soon as we do have those boosters ready to go into people's arms, we will certainly be making an announcement so that the community knows when those boosters are available.” “This edition of the booster that's focused on some of the omicron variants is one more tool that we're adding that can help people mitigate their risk to the disease," said Brian Cowan, Health Officer for the Weber-Morgan Health Department.
