What is a Bivalent Vaccine?
Bivalent vaccines are designed to protect against 2 strains of a virus providing greater protection against variants.
Why should patients get a Bivalent Vaccine?
A bivalent is recommended because it’s the only type of vaccine that can protect against the most dominant Omicron strains of COVID-19 in the US. With the rise of more contagious variants, people need greater protection, even with prior vaccination or immunity from COVID-19 infection.
Vaccines are life-saving tools that reduce the risk of serious illness or death due to infection from viruses or bacteria. Getting vaccinated is a personal health decision.
