Updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines are now rolling out across Vermont.
Vaccines are available now at some locations, and they will be widely available in the coming weeks.
- Check your health insurance benefits.
- Contact your pharmacy or health care provider to find out which vaccines are available and to make an appointment.
- If you are under 65 years old and you don't have a primary care provider or health insurance, local health offices will have vaccines available for free by appointment in the coming weeks.
Everyone six months and older should get a flu shot each year. Getting the flu shot helps protect you, your family and your community. Flu vaccines are widely available at pharmacies*, primary care practices, local health offices and other places where you get vaccinated.
You can get your flu vaccine at the same time as other vaccines, including COVID-19.
Are you 65 or older? Contact your health care provider or local pharmacy to find out which vaccine is right for you. More on flu and people 65 years and older (CDC)
Are you pregnant? Get a flu shot to protect yourself and your baby. A CDC study found that getting vaccinated against the flu while pregnant protected infants under 6 months from flu-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Learn more about vaccines during pregnancy.
*Note: Except for COVID-19, Medicaid does not cover the cost for Medicaid-insured children to get vaccinated at Vermont pharmacies.
