UofL Hospital is now offering a new COVID-19 booster shot that targets new strains of the virus.The new booster is from Pfizer.Dr. Hugh Shoff, an associate medical officer for UofL Hospital, says the new vaccine will combat against possible changes in the virus.Although COVID-19 is not putting as many people in the hospital, the new strains are more transmissible.People are encouraged to get both their flu shots and COVID-19 shots at the same time."The idea around the new vaccine is almost like the flu. Every year we take a look, or what we have done the past could of years is, at the new variants that are out there to formulate the vaccine to allow your body to create the new antibodies to attack the new variants," said Dr. Shoff.UofL Hospital, primary care and urgent care facilities all carry the new booster.Anyone 6 months and older is eligible.For more information and to schedule an appointment, click here.
