The FDA has approved and authorized the 2024 - 2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Everyone 6 months and older should get the updated COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and people who have had COVID-19. Staying up-to-date with your vaccinations gives you the best protection against severe disease.

Everyone 6 months and up is encouraged to get an updated COVID vaccine.

Protect Yourself from Respiratory Illness This Season

Heading into fall and winter, when we typically see increases in viral respiratory infections, it is important that all Chicagoans stay up-to-date on vaccinations – including COVID-19, flu and RSV.

Who Should Get Vaccinated?

  • Everyone 6 months and older should get a NEW updated COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Everyone 6 months and older should get an annual flu shot.
  • For adults age 60+, pregnant, or parents of an infant, check with your doctor to determine if an RSV vaccine is right for you or your child.

Where to get vaccinated – COVID-19 & Flu

COVID-19 and flu vaccines are available to all Chicagoans 6 months and older. Please see information below based on your insurance status.

*Note that COVID and Flu vaccines are slowly arriving to Pharmacies, doctor's offices and CDPH Vaccination clinics. We encourage you to call the facility to verify vaccine inventory prior to your appointment.
