COVID-19 Booster Shots Will Be Made Available to Essential Workers in September

Great news! Essential workers will have access to the COVID-19 booster shot by the end of September.

These amazing frontline heroes have been working throughout the pandemic and doing their best to provide health services and healthy environments for employees, customers, patients, passengers and visitors.

They have been exposed to some of the highest risk environments and have had to deal with the mental and physical stress of the potential for catching and/or unknowingly spreading the COVID-19 virus.

When the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines became available under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), essential workers were one of the first groups to be given access to the original COVID-19 vaccines. This not only allowed them to better protect themselves and their families, but also pave the way for a healthier future.

As new variants for COVID-19 have become more rampant, especially the Delta variant, there have been many more breakthrough cases (reports of fully vaccinated individuals catching and suffering from COVID-19). This has once again exposed frontline heroes to additional safety and health risks.
