Everyone 6 months of age and older is eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccination.

Who should receive the updated COVID-19 vaccine?

Everyone 5 years of age and older should receive the updated vaccine. Those who are immunocompromised may get an additional dose  

Can I get my flu shot at the same time as my COVID-19 booster?

Yes. Studies indicate it is safe to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine at the same visit.
