COVID-19 Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are crucial in protecting against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine ¹. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and those who have had COVID-19.

*Who Needs a COVID-19 Vaccine?*

- Everyone ages 6 months and older

- People who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before

- Those who have had COVID-19

- People who are at high risk for severe COVID-19

- Long-term care facility residents

- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant individuals

*Recommended COVID-19 Vaccines*

- 2024-2025 Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine (ages 6 months and older)

- 2024-2025 Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (ages 6 months and older)

- 2024-2025 Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine (ages 12 years and older) ¹

*Staying Up to Date*

Getting the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine is important because protection from previous vaccines decreases over time, and COVID-19 vaccines are updated to give you the best protection from currently circulating strains ¹.

If you're moderately or severely immunocompromised, there are different recommendations for you. You can check the CDC website for more information ² ¹.
