One of the best ways to prevent severe illness from COVID-19 is to stay up-to- date on your vaccination status. Everyone over the age of six months is eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. It is recommended to receive the most recent booster that you are eligible for after receiving your primary series of the vaccine. If you are not eligible for the most recent booster but completed your primary series, you are still considered to be up-to-date.¹ For more information on staying up-to-date on the COVID-19 vaccines, please visit the CDC’s website. To find a location to receive your COVID-19 vaccine or booster, please visit Vaccines.gov. Reference: 1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2022.
