Everyone 6 months and older should get 1 updated Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Novavax COVID-19 (non-MRNA) vaccine (2023-2024 Formula), regardless of whether they’ve received any original COVID-19 vaccines.
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 2023. 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 County expects to receive some COVID-19 vaccine through the federal Bridge program for uninsured residents. We will be working with Montgomery Cares clinics to provide doses to their clients without insurance. We will have a limited number of County-sponsored clinics, open to residents who are uninsured. We will post clinic information when we get vaccine doses.
