COVID-19 vaccines are effective, especially at preventing serious illness and death. The updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccines provide protection against newer Omicron variants (BA.4 and BA.5) that have been circulating.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continue to update COVID-19 vaccine recommendations as we learn more. CDC recently updated COVID-19 vaccine recommendations to make them simpler.



COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations: What You Need to Know


  • Everyone age 6 years and older should get one updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to be up to date, regardless of whether they’ve received any original COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Children age 6 months–5 years may need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccine to be up to date, including at least one dose of updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, depending on the number of doses they’ve previously received and their age.
  • People age 65 years and older may get a second dose of updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
  • People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may get additional doses of updated Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Alternatives to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) remain available for certain people who cannot or will not receive an mRNA vaccine.
