Updated COVID-19 omicron boosters are abundant in Los Angeles County, and officials are urging people to get the latest offering ahead of the fall-and-winter holidays.
More than half a million doses have already arrived in the region, with tens of thousands more on the way, according to Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer. They are available at more than 1,500 sites countywide, including those affiliated with the county Department of Public Health, health clinics and retail pharmacies.
The priority, at this point, “remains ensuring easy access to these new boosters for everyone who’s eligible, and we remain especially focused on ensuring good access to the new boosters in the hardest hit communities,” Ferrer told the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.
