The COVID-19 vaccine is updated to improve protection against variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing the most amount of illness this year. Everyone ages 6 months and older should get vaccinated against COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines protect people against getting very sick, being hospitalized, and dying from COVID-19. People who stay up to date with all recommended vaccine doses have the best protection against COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccine recommendations are based on your age, which vaccine you received previously, and time since last dose.
