Who needs a COVID-19 vaccine?
Everyone ages 6 months and older should get the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and people who have had COVID-19.
Recommended COVID-19 Vaccines
Three vaccines are available for use in the United States. There is no preference for one vaccine over the other when more than one vaccine is recommended for an age group.
The 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccines more closely target the JN.1 lineage of the Omicron variant. COVID-19 vaccines are updated to give you the best protection from the currently circulating strains.
