The COVID-19 vaccine is available to everyone in the USA who is 6 months of age and older. The vaccine can decrease your risk of infection and severe illness.

If you received your 2nd dose of the vaccine or recently had COVID, you should wait two months to get the updated booster. For the most current information, go to the CDC website.
