The Cass County Health Department will soon have Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent COVID-19 vaccines available. The authorized bivalent COVID-19 vaccines, or 'updated boosters', include components of the original strain and the omicron variant BA.4 and BA.5 lineages to provide better protection against COVID-19.
Check back here and on our Facebook page for updates and for information about when we will begin scheduling appointments.
Bivalent Vaccine Now Available
The updated bivalent COVID 19 vaccine is now being offered by the Cass County Health Department. This change comes as COVID 19 continues to develop more strains such as the Omicron strain. The bivalent vaccine was designed to offer protection against both the Omicron BA.4/BA.5 variants as well as the original SARS-CoV-2 variant. The Moderna bivalent COVID 19 vaccine is being offered to those 18+ as a single booster. The Pfizer bivalent COVID 19 vaccine is being offered to those 12+ as a single booster.

Mixing COVID-19 Vaccines
If the same vaccine that a patient received previously is not available, a mixed series of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) may be administered
Every effort shall be made to ensure completion of the vaccine series with the same product
In situations where the vaccine given for the 1st dose cannot be determined or is no longer available, any available mRNA COVID-19 vaccine may be administered at a minimum interval of 28 days between doses
It is preferable to delay the 2nd dose to receive the same product than to receive a mixed series using a different product
If 2 doses of different mRNA COVID-19 vaccine products are administered, no additional doses of either product are recommended
Such patients are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 2 weeks after receipt of the second dose of an mRNA vaccine
3rd Dose for Immunocompromised Individuals
Following recent announcements from the US Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, certain immunocompromised individuals can receive a third doses of COVID-19 vaccine in Missouri.
A third dose of the PfizerNBioTech or Moderna vaccines may be administered to moderately to severely immunocompromised people due to a medical condition or combination of immunosuppressive medication or treatments including but not limited to the following:
- Immunocompromised due to solid organ transplant and taking immune-suppressing medications
- Immunocompromised due to active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies
- Immune compromised due to Receipt of CAR-T cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant (within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy)
- Moderate to severe primary immunodeficiency (eg., DiGeorge, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndromes)
- Immunocompromised due to Advanced or untreated HIV infection
- Immunocompromised due to “Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that may suppress immune response: high dose corticosteroids (ie.,≥ 20 mg prednisone or equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor-necrosis (TNF) blocker or other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory”
This does not apply to those who received the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
There must be at least 28 days between a 2nd and 3rd vaccine dose. Please bring your COVID-19 vaccination card with you to confirm your vaccination dates.
