CareSouth Carolina is now offering COVID-19 Bivalent Booster Doses for children ages 5 -11

CareSouth Carolina is offering the COVID-19 Pfizer Bivalent Booster for children ages 5 to 11 at its Hartsville Pediatric and Bennettsville Pediatric sites only. The Pfizer booster is available to children 12 and older at the Hartsville site only, while the Moderna booster continues to be available to those who are at least 18 years old at the Bishopville, Chesterfield, McColl and Latta sites only.

These new boosters are called “bivalent” and provide protection against two different COVID-19 strains: the original and the highly contagious omicron variant. The single-shot bivalent boosters may be administered at least two months following the primary vaccination or booster.

Walk-ins are welcome at these locations, but if you would like to make an appointment, please call 843-309-8301. For a detailed list of days and times, visit the CareSouth Carolina website at www.caresouth-carolina.com.
