As the virus continues to be a threat to our health and our daily lives, getting our vaccines and our booster shots remains to be an important decision to make. We suggest you get your booster shots for added immunity against the virus.

In line with this, Rochelle P. Walensky, M.D., M.P.H., CDC director, recently recommended the use of Pfizer-BioNTech for people ages 12 years and older and Moderna for people ages 18 years and older.

These updated COVID-19 boosters, according to CDC, focus on variants that are more contagious and immune-evading. They have essential components that can assist to restore protection that has diminished since the last vaccination.

For individuals exhibiting severe COVID-19-related symptoms, it is advisable to visit the emergency room instead of urgent care. That includes symptoms like bluish lips or face, new confusion or the inability to arouse, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, and difficulty breathing.

For mild cases, you can turn on our telemedicine services and receive helpful health advice to recover from your condition.
