YOU COULD BE COUGHT DEAD WITHOUT IT!

​The latest updated COVID-19 booster shot, the 2025-2026 formula, began rolling out to the public in September and October 2025. 

This new vaccine is designed to target the currently circulating variants of the virus, offering enhanced protection for the fall and winter respiratory virus season.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the updated formula from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna in late August 2025. Following the FDA's authorization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its recommendations, paving the way for distribution to pharmacies and healthcare providers across the country. This rollout follows the availability of the 2024-2025 formula, which was released in the fall of 2024 and targeted the JN.1 lineage of the Omicron variant. The new 2025-2026 boosters are an updated formulation to better match the evolving virus.

Individuals seeking the latest booster should contact their local pharmacies or healthcare providers to confirm availability. Public health officials encourage eligible individuals to stay up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccinations to protect themselves against severe illness, hospitalization, and death.

Get that booster! NOW!
