The Westchester County Health Department is offering the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine booster. The new bivalent vaccine, which contains pieces of both the Delta and Omicron strands of COVID-19, is designed to provide better protection than previous boosters against the virus. The Health Department will have the Pfizer Bivalent Booster (12 and older) and the Moderna Bivalent Booster (18 and older) available. The Health Department has been directed by the FDA to no longer provide the monovalent booster, however all other vaccines for all other age groups will still be available. The bivalent vaccine is only approved as a booster shot, and can only be administered two months after your previous booster or your original series of the COVID-19 vaccine. Appointments are required, and walk-ins will not be accepted. For more information or to make an appointment, visit the Westchester County Health Department Website.
Mothering Together is a new in-person support group for new parents and their babies! This group will offer community, support, and solace for parents at the beginning of their journeys.
