COVID-19 Vaccine Information

The COVID-19 bivalent mRNA vaccine schedule has been simplified for most individuals. The number of bivalent doses varies by age, vaccine, previous COVID-19 vaccines received, and the presence of moderate or severe immune compromise.

• At the time of initial vaccination, depending on vaccine product, children ages 6 months–4 years are recommended to receive 2 or 3 bivalent mRNA vaccine doses; children age 5 years are recommended to receive 1 or 2 bivalent mRNA vaccine doses
• People ages 6 years and older who are unvaccinated or previously received only monovalent vaccine doses are recommended to receive 1 bivalent mRNA vaccine dose
• People ages 65 years and older may receive 1 additional bivalent mRNA vaccine dose
• People the age of 65 and under who are moderately to severely immunocompromised may receive 1 additional bivalent mRNA vaccine. Please see the list of qualifying conditions.

Currently, non-immunocompromised individuals under the age of 65 who have already received a single dose of the bivalent vaccine are not eligible for another bivalent COVID-19 dose.
