COVID-19 Information & Resources
Fall 2023 Vaccination Information
The memo aims to update Maynard residents on COVID-19 cases and encourage residents to get vaccinated and/or receive updated boosters against newer circulating variants, to protect themselves and their families from the serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.
What you need to know
COVID-19 cases have spiked this month due to a new strain, Omicron variant XBB.1.5. The earlier bivalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are no longer authorized for use in the United States, and administration of bivalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines must cease immediately. On September 11, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and authorized for emergency use updated monovalent (single) COVID-19 vaccines to provide better protection against hospitalization and death.
What do residents need to do?
- Regardless of previous vaccination, individuals 5 years of age and older are eligible to receive a single dose of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least two months after the last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine.
- Individuals 6 months through 4 years of age who have previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 are eligible to receive one or two doses of an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (timing and number of doses to administer depends on the previous COVID-19 vaccine received). Unvaccinated individuals 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive three doses of the updated authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or two doses of the updated authorized Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
