The FDA has authorized another dose of the bivalent booster for those over 65 and people who are immune compromised.
I just scheduled mine at CVS.
"The agency said people who are 65 and older who have not had a bivalent booster shot in at least four months may get another one. For those who are immunocompromised, additional doses of the bivalent vaccine can be given two months after the last shot. Those who are unvaccinated can get a single dose of the bivalent booster, the agency said."
...
"The spring booster approval was for the same formula that was released to protect people from the Omicron variant of the virus. An updated vaccine is expected later this year."
This should be a free link for the article on NYT:

Seniors and people with compromised immune systems may get a second bivalent booster if at least four months have passed since their last one.
