COVID-19 Vaccine
Our health departments offer the updated COVID-19 vaccine for the 2023-24 fall/winter season. However, due to limited supplies nationwide, the health departments may run out periodically before receiving new shipments. To find out what vaccine brand is offered in your age group in your county, visit district4health.org/make-an-appointment.
The CDC recommends the updated COVID-19 vaccine for everyone, ages 6 months and older. Under the new guidelines:
- Everyone aged 5 years and older should get 1 dose of the updated Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to protect against serious illness from COVID-19.
- People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get additional doses of updated COVID-19 vaccine.
- Children aged 6 months–4 years need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines to be up to date, including at least 1 dose of updated COVID-19 vaccine. Please consult with your county health department or medical provider for more information on your child’s COVID-19 vaccine schedule.
The CDC continues to monitor COVID-19 disease levels and vaccine effectiveness and will update its recommendations as needed.
