Vaccines and Immunizations

Latest updates: November 4, 2024

New guidance for 2024-2025 vaccines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all adults get an updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine. Before you go to a VA health facility to get a COVID-19 vaccine, call to make sure the facility has the vaccine you want.

Guidance for adults ages 19 to 64 who have had a COVID-19 vaccine before  

Get 1 dose of a 2024-2025 vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or Novavax). 

Guidance for adults ages 19 to 64 who have never had a COVID-19 vaccine before

If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before, choose one of these options:

  • Get 1 dose of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, or
  • Get 2 doses of the 2024-2025 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine spaced at least 3 weeks apart

Guidance for adults ages 65 and older

Get 2 doses of a 2024-2025 vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or Novavax) spaced 6 months apart.

Note: If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before and choose to get the Novavax vaccine for your first 2 doses, you should get 1 more dose of any 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine 6 months later.

Guidance for adults with certain health conditions that weaken your immune system

If you’ve had a COVID-19 vaccine before, you should get at least 2 doses of a 2024-2025 vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or Novavax) spaced 6 months apart. You may also be eligible to get additional doses. Ask your provider how many doses they recommend for you.

If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before, first choose one of these options:

  • Get 3 doses of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, or
  • Get 2 doses of the 2024-2025 Novavax vaccine

Then get 1 more dose of any 2024-2025 vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or Novavax) 6 months later. After this, you may also be eligible to get additional doses of one of these vaccines. Ask your provider how many doses they recommend for you.
