COVID-19 Vaccine

Everyone ages 6 months and older should get the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have previously received a COVID-19 vaccine and those who have had the COVID-19 infection.

The updated COVID-19 vaccines are available at doctors' offices and pharmacies. To find COVID-19 vaccine near you, search vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1‑800‑232‑0233 (TTY 1‑888‑720‑7489).

You are eligible to receive these vaccines if it has been at least 2 months since receiving your last COVID-19 vaccination. It is safe to get both the COVID-19 vaccine and flu shot at the same time.

The updated vaccines became available in September 2024. They match the currently circulating COVID-19 variants much more closely.

Most health insurance plans cover the COVID-19 vaccine at no cost to you.

The Montgomery County HHS Dennis Avenue Health Center will offer free COVID-19 vaccine. It is the 2024-2025 Moderna vaccine. Call 240-777-1050 for more information. Eligible persons are:
