Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. The best way to prevent flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.

Every person age 6 months and older should receive an annual flu vaccine.  Some children 8 years old and younger may require 2 doses spaced at least 4 weeks apart for full protection.

 

You are eligible for a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine booster if you are:

  • 12 years old and older
  • Have completed a primary COVID-19 vaccine series (at least 2 doses of either Moderna or Pfizer, or 1 dose of Johnson and Johnson vaccine)
  • It has been at least 2 months since your most recent COVID vaccine dose
  • COVID vaccines can be given regardless of insurance status
