Sioux Falls, SD — Many people who received the COVID-19 vaccination received it in two doses. A booster shot was released earlier. Now another booster has been released. Should you receive the fourth shot?
Avera Health’s Dr. David Basal discusses the second COVID-19 booster shot that the FDA recently approved.
He says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — the CDC — and the Food and Drug Administration — the FDA — recommend getting the second Pfizer or Moderna booster but it is not mandatory.
In addition to Avera McKennan and the other Avera hospitals in Sioux Falls, Avera has several facilities in the tri-state region. In our area, the Osceola Regional Health Center in Sibley, Sioux Center Health in Sioux Center, Hegg Memorial Health Center in Rock Valley, Avera Merrill Pioneer Hospital in Rock Rapids, and several other northwest Iowa clinics and other facilities are all connected to Avera.
