COVID-19 Vaccine

COVID-19 vaccines are your best protection from evolving variants of COVID-19. Vaccines help your body recognize and fight off the virus. Protection from the vaccine and immunity after COVID-19 decreases over time. Updated vaccines offer the best protection from current strains.

Who can receive the vaccine?

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

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.

How long should I wait to get the updated vaccine after I've had COVID?

The CDC recommends people who have had COVID should wait 3 months after symptoms started or until they've completely recovered before getting any vaccine.

When Are You Up to Date?

• Children aged 6 months to 4 years: You are up to date when you get all recommended doses, including at least 1 dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine.
• Children aged 5-11 years: You are up to date when you get all recommended doses, including at least 1 dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine.
• People aged 12-64 years: You are up to date when you get 2 doses of the updated COVID-19 vaccine 2-6 months apart.
