CentraCare has the Pfizer bivalent booster vaccine for those 12 and older who had their primary vaccine series or last booster more than two months ago. The bivalent booster provides broader protection against COVID-19 because it targets both the original strain and the new Omicron variants, which is what happens with the flu vaccine every year.

To schedule an appointment for the COVID-19 bivalent booster:

• Call CentraCare Connect at 320-200-3200 for most CentraCare locations
• For Willmar Main Clinic, call 320-231-5000
• For New London Clinic, call 320-354-2222
• Receive the vaccine during a primary care clinic visit
• Or visit Vaccines.gov to find a COVID-19 vaccine near you

It is safe to get a flu shot at the same time as any COVID-19 vaccine, including the bivalent booster. If you'd like to receive both vaccines at your appointment, please mention this when calling to schedule.
