Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccines
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older in the US, including pregnant or breastfeeding women.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that adults age 65 years and older receive an additional dose of updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. Data show that vaccination helps protect older adults who are more likely to have severe disease from COVID-19 disease. Previous CDC recommendations ensured that people who are immunocompromised are already eligible for additional doses of the updated COVID-19 vaccines.
Getting COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as other routinely recommended vaccines is safe and convenient.
