VRBPAC voted unanimously to move toward use of a consistent vaccine for primary series and booster, and Pfizer has submitted their BLA application for their bivalent vaccine as primary series ages 12+. Moderna expected to follow. I expect that we’ll see this all get authorized by FDA and recommend by CDC very soon.

Primary series may become harder to obtain with the stopping of monovalent Moderna 4/1/23 and J & J limited leaving only Pfizer monovalent and the two bivalents.

We require primary series and one boost at several Boston hospitals.

We require proof of the series, but not any boosters.

Can I ask if your institution continues to require proof of the primary series of COVID 19 vaccination for new hires? If so, is the latest booster dose a requirement as well?

Thank you.
