The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Bivalent vaccine is still available on campus. The bivalent vaccine has replaced the original monovalent vaccine for both primary and booster doses. The vaccine is currently still free of charge and is available to everyone, including those who are not affiliated with our campus.
• Most individuals previously vaccinated with a primary monovalent series and who have not received a bivalent booster may receive a single dose of a bivalent.
• Most individuals who have received a single dose of a bivalent vaccine are not currently eligible for another bivalent dose.• Individuals 65 years and older who have received a single dose of bivalent vaccine may receive an additional dose at least four months after their initial bivalent dose.
• Immunocompromised individuals who have received a bivalent vaccine can receive an additional bivalent vaccine two months following a dose of bivalent vaccine; additional doses may be administered at the discretion of their healthcare provider.• Most unvaccinated individuals may receive a single dose of a bivalent vaccine rather than multiple doses of the original monovalent mRNA vaccines.
The Vaccination Clinic is on the third floor of the LSU Healthcare Network Multispecialty Clinic at 478 South Johnson Street.
