The Mississippi State Department of Health issued the following statement.
Starting today, appointments for the new bivalent COVID-19 booster shot are available for children 5 and older at all Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) county health department clinics.
Appointments can be made through covidvaccine.msdh.ms.gov or by calling the COVID-19 hotline at 877-978-6453.
The updated COVID-19 booster offers improved protection against both the original strain of COVID-19 and the Omicron variants that are currently causing most infections (BA.4 and BA.5).
The bivalent vaccine is available through both Pfizer and Moderna. Those 5 years of age and older may be eligible if:
· They are fully vaccinated with any previous primary vaccination series against COVID-19 (Pfizer, Moderna or Noravax two-shot regimen, or Johnson & Johnson/Janssen’s one-shot regimen),
· And, it has been at least two months since the last primary dose or booster dose of the vaccine.
“As we move into the winter months, we strongly encourage those eligible to get the bivalent booster now to provide the best protection against COVID-19 infection and severe complications. Don’t wait to protect yourself and your family,” said MSDH State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers.
MSDH recommends vaccination against COVID-19 for anyone 6 months and older. Vaccination and boosters are especially important for adults 65 and older, children and adults who have weakened immune systems, and anyone with underlying health problems.
COVID-19 vaccinations are available at no cost from county health departments. Vaccinations are also available at numerous pharmacies and private providers throughout the state.
For information about eligibility and to make an appointment for COVID-19 vaccinations or boosters, visit covidvaccine.msdh.ms.gov.
Please remember to bring your COVID-19 vaccination card to your appointment, if available.

How about, No!
I think it is so funny that Covid has just disappeared. Funny, when the media stops driving things down our throat how quickly they are forgotten. The entire time in history was just a great big scam.
The shit around Covid-19 is like Herpes, won't go away until the planet is swallowed by the sun. I'm waiting for the Boston University Covid that has an 80% fatality rate to be released. Also look forward to the reported Cancer Vaccine being released around 2030. Remember, "I am legend".
No thanks. I have survived influenzas for 40 years and I’ve survived Covid-19 thrice already. The globalists can keep their experimental mRNA therapies. The weak of body and mind can have it if they want it.
11:35 - help yourself. But for me, thank's. Just as I was thankful when they brought around the sugar cubes in 1960 that put a stop to polio (a dose that still is good today). Or when they gave us those smallpox vaccines that caused many of us to have a scar on our upper arms, but kept us safe from that dreaded disease.
You are welcome to say no. I hope that you stay healthy. But for me, just as I did when the vaccine first came available in January 2021, I'll go get mine this week.
I'll take "Hell to the naw" for $100, Alex.
Anyone still getting these shots at this point is either stupid or willfully ignorant. Or maybe crazy. I suppose I should be charitable and say maybe they are still being snookered by the mainstream media and the lying criminals at CDC and NIH, who should all be tried for crimes against humanity and either executed or put in work camps for a taste of the Marxism they are helping push.
11:55, You know you will die anyway. Many have been helped with a Placebo.
Thank you 1226, but despite your diagnosis I am not stupid or willfully ignorant.
I will not comment on your intelligence or your being led by social media experts.
But thanks for your insightful diagnosis of anybody who has a differing opinion from yours.
"You are welcome to say no. I hope that you stay healthy. But for me, just as I did when the vaccine first came available in January 2021, I'll go get mine this week."
You're a Biden voter, aren't you? Will this be shot #5 or #6 for you?
I lost a brother after he took a government vaccination. My wife nearly died after taking the government vaccination. Several friends and one close neighbor (who had to have heart surgery) nearly died after taking the Covid government vaccine. I have refused it and will continue to do so.
And New York City was just ordered by the Supreme Court to rehire and issue back pay to all its workers that refused the government vaccine.
But y’all keep following the Judas goat.
Criminals. These so-called "vaccines" (CDC changed the definition) have absolutely nothing to do with preventing a "virus". NADA.
The ignorant will stay ignorant. Keep on keeping on Mississippi.
@12:26pm - Stay away from me please.
I've had the bivalent booster and still can't get 5G, or died, or been contacted by Satan. I'm beginning to think the conspiracy theorists might not know what they are talking about.
11:55...If you had the one and done vaccines from the past, then you should know the difference between a real vaccine and one that doesn't appear to work without several boosts.
"I've had the bivalent booster and still can't get 5G, or died, or been contacted by Satan. I'm beginning to think the conspiracy theorists might not know what they are talking about."
Good for you. Two under 40 year olds at my office in the area spent a week in the hospital after having a myocarditis episode. Luckily, they survived, but by all means keep getting your quarterly shot for the rest of your life. I hear Pfizer is getting ready to announce a subscription plan.
Over 300 of my aunts died within 2 minutes of receiving the clot shot. My 8 year old sister was changed to a Navy SEAL. And my brother in law fell up a cliff and his credit cards were demagnetized. It's that bad.
I got this vaccine just over a month ago before a trip. It did the trick for me as my wife came back with Covid and I did not. It’s unfortunate that vaccines are now viewed as a political issue. Some people just have to take sides on everything. We may not have long term studies on these yet, but we also don’t have long term studies on the effects of multiple Covid infections, so I choose to do what I can to avoid getting sick. I will always trust the doctors over politicians and social influencers.
@2:31 - 3 people I know who were all under 50 have died from Covid. It is not a joke or a made up disease, it has literally killed millions of people. As the least healthy state in the country, it’s clear to me that ignorance has played a significant role in that status.
Novavax has now been approved for use as a booster for adults. I had the Novavax primary series in August. Husband (4 MrNA shots, most recent in June of this year) caught Covid in mid-September. Did not get me although we were vacationing in the same hotel room (nowhere to hide). No side effects except a little headache-y.
100% of living presidents and 95+% of US Legislators have been vaccinated, but you geniuses on here know better. Stay 50th Mississippi.
"100% of living presidents and 95+% of US Legislators have been vaccinated, but you geniuses on here know better. Stay 50th Mississippi."
And 100% of me survived my bout with Covid just fine like 99.9% of the population has and without a "vaccine" that doesn't prevent me from getting it again. But, my naturally acquired immunity sure has prevented a second infection. Sure wish that "vaccine" had prevented my friend's father from dying from Covid.
@1:55pm - You do realize the full Polio vaccine was 4 shots right?
Oh Hell No!
Can you believe there are doctors still pushing this, and on children? There’s no arguing that this shot doesn’t reduce contracting or spreading the virus, that’s fact. It *might* cut down on severe symptoms if recently taken. All for an illness with a much lower fatality rate than seasonal influenza. With children the fatality rate is one in the hundreds of thousands. Yet they are pushing this on children, of which boys (mostly) and girls are at serious risk for permanent heart damage. I won’t even discuss this with pediatrician friends for fear that I’ll throw facts in there face and make them look stupid, damaging decade long relationships. But then again I’ve pretty much severed those ties anyway due to their greed of money. Then you have the auto-immune disorders surging across the globe to worry about, and that pesky newly termed “sudden adult death syndrome”.
Can you believe that we have reached a point in society where we will do things like wearing ineffective face cloths to “be the better person”, not let your grandchildren visit because they haven’t taken a shot that wouldn’t stop transfer even if they had taken it, people can’t get life saving organ transplants because they haven’t taken a shot they don’t need, and people willfully let their kids fall behind in school to keep from catching something that wasn’t going to hurt them anyway? I get the first few weeks of this ordeal, we were all scared. Now we have facts. I still haven’t caught Covid that I know of, and it may kill me next week. But I’m in an age group with a 0.035% chance of dying from it, so I’d rather take my chances with Covid instead of my chances of heart damage from spike proteins that don’t leave the body like they were originally said to. By all means, take the shot if you have co-morbidities. Take the shot if you’ve actually researched something other than what’s been spoon fed to you. It’s your choice. But for God’s sake, don’t act like the kids need this poison injection. Money makes people do crazy things.
Almost 3 years. No COVID infections. No COVID injections. Spouse, ditto. 10K D3, zinc, quercetin, magnesium, B, C, K, tumeric, resveratrol, iodine, selenium daily. Nebulize with nanosilver after exposure.
These available covid shots are not vaccines. None of them prevent anything except a long life for some. Pfizer et al are the only ones getting any type of immunity from them. People are dropping dead around the world from SADS after participating in this medical experiment. Death Wish is what they real should be called.
4:13 - nebulize away until you turn blue!
October 26, 2022 at 3:44 PM, and you equate that polio vaccine with the scam shot? You have lost your damn mind.
Remember when all these sky screaming vax Nazi’s were against the vaccine? The politicians, the media, all against it. Then all of sudden the clown occupies the WH and they became pro vax. Then this year Putin invades Ukraine and Covid is over.
12:48 - you have just shown your total ignorance, and the stupidity of trying to equate medical activities to political beliefs.
NO, I am not a Biden voter. I have not voted for a Democrat for President, (or for that matter, any other significant office) probably for much longer than you have been alive. And to substantiate that, I voted for Richard Nixon's reelection in 1972. If you want to top that record, bring it one.
And further, I have WORKED for those 18 republican presidential candidates beginning with Nixon. Can you even get closer?
No, you are the idiot. You equate my medical decisions (while respecting yours) with political idiology. You are the stupid one in this conversation.
@535, I don't think they (or my earlier comment) was equating the two. But I was equating medical breakthroughs - polio vaccine, smallpox vaccine, DPT, and many others. At the time they brought out the polio sugar cubes, nobody had assurances of anything, other than the trials that had been done to come up with a fight against a dreaded disease. (Prior to the sugar cubes, public swimming pools were being shut down, people were afraid to go into areas where it was 'thought' the disease could spread. It was similar to the TB concerns of the day - many of which have been debunked over time when more came to be known about both diseases.)
Medicine is not anything of an exact science as evidently some would believe. But what it is not - is a political football, which is what many seem to believe.
Do what you want - I frankly don't give a damn. But the idiocy of one taking their medical advice from idiots on a social medica blog makes me hope that they are wrong; leading to a survival of the best genetic strain.
11:55 ... I suppose you're more intelligent than the Florida Surgeon General? So he is an idiot for telling the truth about serious heart issues? He is suppose to bow down because of the idiots at the cdc??? Can't you read? do you only watch MSM??? How sad. Please take your frankenshot.

No one in Mississippi has died from taking the Covid vaccination or boosters, according to UMMC.
Nearly 13,000 Mississippians have died from Covid-19. It is not a hoax.
@8:03pm - Agreed, well said.
@8:05pm - If you’re taking advice from Floridaman, well, I don’t know what to tell you.
These old people falling for this scam and getting all the boosters reminds me of the truth if they saying: “there’s no fool like an old fool”. Many years of existing does not necessarily equate to increased wisdom for too many people.
Those of you who keep getting these useless shots and haven’t had any I’ll effects yet - I hope it stays that way for you. If you don’t care to spend 20 minutes reading up on all the heart problems, sudden death incidences, etc then you are willfully ignorant. I know a few people who are like you, some relatives who I love, so I don’t wish you any harm. But it’s like y’all are in a cult and just refuse to hear evidence. I guess the alternative to belief is too horrible to contemplate. Yes, Big Pharma along with their enablers in the government bureaucracies are that evil.
I am the wisest person on this blog (by far) and covid-19 was a scamdemic, and the so-called vaccines were a bigger scam.
At first the lied and said that the vaccines would prevent us from catching and spreading the virus. Those were lies.
Then they said that the vaccines would make the symptoms less severe and keep you out of the hospital. However, that was a lie too.
Now there is not any point of taking the damn things if they won’t provide those simple protections!
@5:40am - Hello fellow commenter, I am also a very stable genius.
Question for the pro vaxxers: what’s the most annoying part of any pharma commercial on TV? Obviously it’s that the last third of the commercial goes over the 127 possible disgusting side effects of that med. When you see a commercial about covid vax, how many side effects do they mention?? If you can’t remember, the answer is zero. Curious? Probably not since you don’t care to research. The reason that they don’t have to, is because none of the vaccines in the good old honest USA are FDA approved (without being under the Emergency Use Authorization). Sure, Comirnaty has full FDA approval, (and is supposedly the same as the Pfizer shot but legally distinct), but tell me where in this country you can get it. You can’t. No FDA approval, no need to list the possible side effects, because the manufacturing companies can’t be held liable anyway. And get this, this latest shot was only tested on a few mice before being given the green light. If your not at least curious, well, I bet you still wear a mask.
3:53pm
What I can't believe ( though accept it's true) is there are people like you who reject science and would believe Joe the Plumber about anything other than plumbing.
That's what you are doing. You are believing people who have no credible achievement or knowledge or experience in virology or public health in favor of those who didn't specialize in the subject.
There's a reason ob-gyn's don't remove brain tumors.
The difference is general knowledge during 4 years of med school and 8 years more of study and years more keeping abreast of changes in their area of expertise.
I really wouldn't care if you weren't in the clique of Typhoid Mary harming the innocent. Children need responsible, sensible, educated parents, not emotional wrecks.
October 26, 2022 at 8:03 PM, it's a good thing you don't care what I do, because I will do what is best for me.
I have no way of knowing what you were thinking when you were posting, but it came off as an equal comparison.
I am well aware of the horror of the polio era, because I lived through part of it. You neglected to mention the length of time the polio vaccine was tested before it was approved, unlike the experimental shot posing as a vaccine.
As far as medicine being politicized, if you haven't noticed, everything has been poisoned by politics.
No scare tactics were needed to promote the polio vaccine. There was/is a full court press to promote Covid-19, and the fake vaccine, even though it was/is well-known that the fake vaccine doesn't/don't stop the spread of the super cold.
Yet, people, like myself, and others were attacked relentlessly from every direction. I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. No one had to badger people in to taking the polio vaccine, we lined up willingly. The difference in the two events are a stark contrast.
10:06 am, the science? What science are you referring to, the trials by the pharmaceutical companies that begged the courts to give them 75 years to produce the data? If that’s what you’re trusting then I guess there’s no further discussion to be had. None of the doctors know anything about this particular “science”, but they’re pushing it. Ever wonder why? As for actual science, there are doctors all around the world coming out saying this is a farce. Virologist, not OB’s. Please enlighten the class what science you are referring to. Have there been some studies that show this drug, which single handedly changed the definition of “vaccine”, stops transmission of this disease? Oh wait, maybe you didn’t hear what Janine Small said to British Parliament recently. Instead of listening to doctors that make money off this drug, maybe you should listen to the doctors that are risking their jobs to talk about this drug. Which of those two groups has more incentive to tell the truth?
A local MD here.
I'll pass on those repeated boosters but thank you very much. Vaccinations were needed in 2020-2021 but not now in my opinion. And 100% not for children. I am ashamed at the scientific community and how they have been politicized.
Oh. And this will be anonymous because the MS State Board of Medical Licensure will spank me for speaking MY opinion on this matter. Thank you Ken Cleveland et al. Truly.
World renowned MD here.
@1:09 is full of it. They may identify as a doctor, but are actually a chiropractor. I won’t post my name since the medical board will fine me for calling out asses in the profession.
@2:44 is obviously not a world renowned MD, they’re much more mature. If they actually are an MD, they’re one of the ones making money off this crap. No facts, just slander. Typical for those that have no real argument.
@12:11 - one anonymous md’s opinion is just as valid as any other. Maybe we should take the advice of a real doctor in an office instead of trying to find a doctor on Facebook or a blog whose political opinions match our own. Just a thought.
