Updated Covid-19 Vaccine Available

What to know

Everyone ages 6 months and older should get a 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine.
The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
It is especially important to get your 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine if you are ages 65 and older, are at high risk for severe COVID-19, or have never received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Vaccine protection decreases over time, so it is important to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine.
