For Seniors
The FDA has approved and authorized the 2024 - 2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Everyone 6 months and older should get the updated COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and people who have had COVID-19. Staying up-to-date with your vaccinations gives you the best protection against severe disease.
