The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a single dose of the updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine for anyone six months and older. It is especially important for individuals who are:

- 65 or older
- Living in a long-term care facility
- Pregnant or trying to get pregnant

Why is an updated vaccine needed?
Vaccine protection decreases over time, which is why the CDC recommends an updated COVID vaccine to prevent serious illness, long COVID 19 symptoms, hospitalization, or even death.
