Moderna and Pfizer have developed COVID-19 bivalent boosters that include an Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 valence. The Moderna bivalent booster is intended for those 18 years and older and Pfizer bivalent booster is for those 12 years and older. Both are pending FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).
Pre-orders are open in myCAvax starting today, August 22. The pre-order deadline is Friday, August 26 at 5PM. Pre-orders will ship once the vaccines are approved and ACIP recommendations are finalized. Current estimate is that vaccines would begin arriving after Labor Day (September 6-9). Orders that are received after the pre-order window has closed will be held and submitted once the vaccines are approved and CDC opens up regular ordering.
