• Unvaccinated individuals 6 months through 4 years of age are eligible to receive 3 doses of the updated authorized Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine or 2 doses of the updated authorized Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

Recommendations may vary for people with additional health conditions. Visit the CDC website for details or contact your healthcare provider.

The CDC has authorized updated mRNA vaccines for 2023-2024 manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer that are expected to be more effective against today’s strains of COVID-19. These vaccines are monovalent. The previously approved bivalent Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines are not currently authorized for use in the United States. The health system will offer only the CDC-approved 2023-2024 updated vaccines.

Most patients ages 12 and older can receive an updated vaccine from either manufacturer, regardless of doses received previously. Patients younger than 12 should receive a vaccine from the same manufacturer as they received previously. Parents and guardians, consult with your child’s primary care provider.

Most insurance plans cover preventive flu vaccinations. To confirm coverage, contact your insurance carrier.

Coverage for COVID-19 vaccines may change for the 2023-2024 vaccine due to the expiration of the public health emergency that provided extensive cost coverage for previous vaccines. You should understand your plan’s coverage. You may be responsible for a portion of the cost of COVID-19 vaccination depending on your plan’s coverage. You can use our price estimator tool to find information on COVID-19 vaccine charges within your specific insurance plan.
