COVID-19 vaccines

New guidance for 2023-2024 vaccines

The CDC recommends that all adults get an updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine.

If you got your last COVID-19 vaccine before September 12, 2023, you should get a single dose of an updated 2023-2024 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax).

If you never got a COVID-19 vaccine before, you should choose one of these options: 

• Get 1 dose of the updated Pfizer-BioNTech or updated Moderna vaccine, or
• Get 2 doses of the updated Novavax vaccine

If you’re age 65 or older, you should get an additional dose of an updated 2023-2024 vaccine at least 4 months after your last dose.

If you have certain conditions that weaken your immune system, you may be eligible to get additional doses of an updated 2023-2024 vaccine. Ask your provider how many doses they recommend for you. 

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.
