The new COVID-19 vaccine is hitting pharmacies and doctor’s offices near you. Major chains like Walgreens are advertising the updated vaccine, giving people the option to roll up their sleeve while shopping. Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says the updated vaccine is similar to previous vaccines…it just targets different strains of the virus. Health officials say the COVID vaccine is updated the same wsay the influenza vaccine is updated each year to keep up with the virus. The CDC doesn’t get into details about when to get vaccinated, other than to say that you can delay your shot for three months if you just had the virus.
