COVID-19 Vaccine
Updated 01-02-2025
Staying Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines
Everyone ages 6 months and older can get a 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine.
It is especially important to get your 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine if you are 65 and older, are at high risk for severe COVID-19, or have never received a COVID-19 vaccine.
Getting the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is important because:
- Protection from the COVID-19 vaccine decreases with time.
- Immunity after COVID-19 infection decreases with time.
- COVID-19 vaccines are updated to give you the best protection from the currently circulating strains.
- The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
