Everyone 6 months of age and older should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for everyone ages 6 months and older in the United States for the prevention of COVID-19. There is currently no FDA-approved or FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine for children younger than age 6 months.
The CDC recommends that people receive all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses. Vaccination is especially important for people at highest risk of severe COVID-19, including people ages 65 years and older; people with underlying medical conditions, including immune compromise; people living in long-term care facilities; and pregnant people to protect themselves and their infants.
How can I get up to date on COVID vaccination?
Refer to CDC recommendations: Staying Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines.
Getting a COVID vaccine at U-M Health
U-M Health currently offers the 2024–2025 Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot.
If you have an upcoming visit with your U-M Health primary care provider, you can request to receive a COVID shot while at your appointment.
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. View detailed instructions on how to update your patient record to include COVID-19 vaccinations from other providers.
