Immunize El Paso Begins Bivalent Vaccination for Children

/in /by

Immunize El Paso has received bivalent booster vaccines from Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna. So far, Immunize El Paso has administered 3,874 bivalent vaccines. With experts warning of a COVID-19 winter spike, the bivalent booster will play a key role in the severity of a COVID infection, hospitalizations, and death rates.

“It is understandable that people may not believe they need another vaccine, but this is the most important vaccine yet. There are two strains of the Omicron virus BA.4 and BA.5, which are infecting people today. The new COVID-19 vaccine bivalent is the only vaccine to protect against those strains of the virus.”

-Danny Acosta, Director of Immunize El Paso

While many people have some form of protection from past vaccines and COVID infections, national studies show the new booster could still save thousands of lives. Immunize El Paso has pop-up clinics throughout the borderland to help facilitate the administration of the COVID-19 bivalente booster, along with flu and neumonía vaccines. For locations and times visit:

Make a Difference: Your Donation Can Immunize El Paso’s Underserved

DONATE NOW!

At Immunize El Paso, we believe that access to crucial vaccinations should be a right, not a privilege. Every day, we encounter individuals from underserved communities who are vulnerable not just because of where they live or their economic status, but because they lack access to life-saving vaccines.

Why Your Donation Matters

  1. Vaccines Save Lives: It’s a simple fact. Vaccines have eradicated diseases that once decimated populations and continue to prevent thousands of deaths annually. Your contribution ensures someone gets the shot they need to stay protected.
  2. Support Community Health: When one person gets vaccinated, it’s not just them who benefits. Vaccines create a ripple effect. The more people that are vaccinated, the harder it is for a disease to spread, safeguarding the entire community.
  3. Economic Impact: Diseases come with a cost – hospital bills, missed workdays, and sometimes lifelong complications. By supporting vaccinations, you’re aiding the overall economic health of El Paso, saving families and the community from unforeseen expenses.
  4. A Chance for a Healthy Future: For many in our underserved populations, a vaccine is a beacon of hope. It represents the chance for a future free from the threats of preventable diseases, ensuring that children can grow up healthy and adults can live without fear.

How Your Donation is Used

Every cent you donate goes directly to purchasing and administering vaccines to those who most need them. We also invest in outreach programs, ensuring that every corner of El Paso knows the importance of immunization and has the opportunity to benefit.
