New Vaccines

 This video is old and it tells us how fearful a time we have come through and how much progress we have made with respect to COVID-19. Get your 4th dose if you have not yet it. The 4th dose or second booster is the original COVID-19 vaccine. Once you have had your 4th dose or second booster, consider getting a 5th dose. You can receive one of the new bivalent vaccines as you 5th dose: Moderna's bivalent which has protection against the original omicron virus and the BA-2 Omicron variant and the soon to be available Pfizer's bivalent vaccine which contains the original COVID vaccine and the BA-4-5 omicron specific vaccine. We should hear about the availability of this vaccine in the next week or so.

This vaccine is showing improved protection above the original COVID vaccine with superior protection against the present dominant circulating strains. Wait three to six months from your last vaccine to your next and three to six months from a COVID infection and your next vaccine.

Find more information about these vaccines, how to book and which one is available to you or your children on the Guelph Wellington Dufferin website.

I continue to recommend these vaccines to all eligible age groups. They protect against serious illness and death and they also can prevent transmission of infection reducing a person's risk for medium and long COVID. The fatigue and decreased exercise tolerance and cough can last for months.
