Thanks for this information! Love to read your insights! While reading this article, I realized I did not know which covid shot was added to the kids immunization schedule - the shot for novel covid or the booster mentioned in this article. Must have missed it. Thanks!

Found it. They approved ALL versions of the vaccines. Age 6 and up can get all of them. Age 6mo-5yr are scheduled for the original monovalent. Check out page 3 for 18 year olds! Disgusting.
Thanks for finding the answer, although I agree it is beyond disgusting. I'm a nurse; NP most of my 46-year career and NP educator, now completely retired. The color coding of the vial caps & border (on the caps or on the vial?) is an accident waiting to happen for those, often unlicensed individuals, who administer vaccines in private offices and clinics. My assumption is that these are single-dose vials. God help us if they are not. Thanks again for all you do to keep us informed!!!
I am an NP as well! Acute critical care then DNP and board cert in Psych. I precepted a TON of students!!!! Especially now, I have a private practice, with no corporate healthcare vaccine requirement hoops, that is a big draw. I totally agree with the color coding of these ridiculous vialsтАж..some 6 month old is going to get a wrong dose and things are going to go sideways REAL quick. Especially as you said unlicensed staff doing this. Be glad you are retired friendтАж..healthcare is unrecognizable at this point! I am not sure what we will have left to build back something good from. We just keep plugging away! тЭдя╕П
I think they added all the covid shots but I am not 100% sure. I am not sure what they make a previously unvaccinated kiddo do, if they have to get the original 2 dose series and then omicron booster, or if they just start with the omicron booster. Great question and I will go digging!
