Everyone 6 months of age and older should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
The CDC recommends everyone age 6 months and older should get the 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine. The 2023-24 updated COVID-19 vaccines more closely target the most current variants. In addition to restoring protection against COVID-19 that may have decreased over time, these updated vaccines will also be better at fighting currently circulating variants.
How can I get up to date on COVID vaccination?
Everyone age 5 and older
Get the updated COVID-19 vaccine at least 8 weeks after any previous COVID-19 vaccine.
People who are moderate or severely immunocompromised
Talk with your care team about whether you should get additional doses of the updated COVID-19 vaccine to strengthen immunity.
Children 6 months to 4 years of age
Young children who have not previously been vaccinated against COVID-19 should get two or three doses depending on which vaccine they receive. If previously vaccinated, one dose of 2023-2024 COVID vaccine is recommended at least 8 weeks after last dose.
Scheduling a Vaccination Appointment
U-M Health offers the Pfizer vaccine.
Who: Anyone with a U-M Health medical record number (MRN). If you are not an established U-M Health patient, please call 734-936-4990 to set up an MRN before calling to schedule your appointment.
How: Appointments can be scheduled online through the MyUofMHealth patient portal. If you do not have a portal account you can schedule an appointment by calling the COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling Call Center at 734-763-6336 Monday-Friday 8 am-5 pm.
If You Have Been Vaccinated Elsewhere
If you are a U-M Health patient who has been vaccinated by a non-U-M Health provider, we ask that you update your patient record with your vaccination information. This is especially important for patients who were vaccinated through the VA or by out-of-state providers and helps ensure your vaccination records are up-to-date. For detailed instructions on how to update your patient record, see our Finding Vaccines page under “How to Let Us Know if You Have Been Vaccinated Elsewhere”
