[MCOH-EH] Bivalent Booster with Influenza Vaccine

[William.Scott]

Yes. CDC today, did a Webinar on that type of information. Webinar Tuesday, September 13, 2022 - Recommendations for Bivalent COVID-19 Booster Doses in People Ages 12 Years and Older (cdc.gov)<https://emergency.cdc.gov/coca/calls/2022/callinfo_091322.asp>.

In short. CDC notes Bivalent vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna can be given with all routine vaccines including Influenza at the same time. They noted providers should offer all vaccines for which a person is eligible at the same visit.  TB testing was not mentioned.

However timing of the vaccine for people with current or prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, should defer vaccination by 3 months from symptom onset or positive test. Also for those persons had not finished their primary series they have to do that first with the original monovalent vaccine.

All,
Does anyone have any information regarding administration or timing of the new bivalent Pfizer booster with all other vaccinations specifically influenza, but others such as MMR, varicella, Tdap, Hepatitis B, and TB skin testing?
Thank you.
