The City of Chicago and Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced that Chicago is rolling out two updated COVID-19 vaccines designed specifically to target the Omicron subvariants, in light of final approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The vaccines will be available this week to Chicago residents 12 years and older who have already completed a primary vaccine series.  The City of Chicago has already been allocated approximately 150,000 doses of the updated vaccines, with more following in the coming weeks. For those who need help finding a nearby site, Vaccines.gov is a free online service that you can use to search for pharmacies and providers that offer vaccination. Residents can also call the City’s COVID-19 call center at 312-746-4835.  The new vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna are being called “bivalent boosters,” meaning they are a mix of two versions of the vaccine. Nearly all (99.8%) of COVID-19 new cases in the U.S. are BA.4 or BA.5. Additional answers to frequently asked questions about the new vaccine will continue to be updated at Chicago.gov/Boost. COVID-19 vaccines — including the updated, bivalent boosters — are free, and no government-issued ID or insurance is required. Learn more at Chicago.gov/COVIDvax
