Kids eligible for COVID-19 vaccine booster

The Danbury Department of Health & Human Services is reminding parents that there are new CDC recommendations on COVID-19 vaccines for kids. 

Children ages 5 to 11 are now eligible for a booster dose 5 months after their initial Pfizer vaccination series.  Individuals ages 12 and older who are immunocompromised and those who are 50 years of age or older can receive a second booster dose 4 months after their first.  In the past month, Danbury has seen an increase in COVID-19 cases and Department officials say a booster dose will help protect individuals against severe disease.

It's the third day in a row that Connecticut's seven-day rolling positivity rate was down from the previous day.  The positivity rate yesterday was 12.05-percent, which is slightly down from Tuesday's 12.13 percent. On Monday, the positivity rate was at 12.3-percent, which was nearly a two percent drop from Friday.
