COVID-19 Vaccine

2023-2024 COVID-19 Vaccine

The FDA and CDC have approved the latest Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines help keep you safe from the new types of COVID-19 we might see in 2023-24. The CDC recommends everyone who is 6 months old or older should get this new vaccine. Most insurance plans, like Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and private insurance, they will usually pay for the vaccine, so you won't have to pay.

Who should get the 2023-24 COVID-19 Vaccine? 

March 1st, 2024 Update: The CDC recommends that individuals aged 65 years and older should receive one additional dose of any updated (2023–2024 formula) COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer-BioNTech) at least four months following the previous dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine.

Everyone who is 5 years old or older is recommended to get one dose of the new 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. This is true even if you've had COVID-19 vaccines before. Kids between 6 months and 4 years old need more than one COVID-19 vaccine dose, including at least one of the new vaccines.

You can get the 2023-2024 vaccine if it's been two months since your last COVID-19 vaccine. If you've never had a COVID-19 vaccine, you can start with the new one for 2023-2024.

    Moderna Adults 12+ years$164
    Moderna Pediatric 6 months - 11 years$164
  4. Does LCDHE accept private insurance for COVID-19 vaccines?

    No, LCDHE doesn't use private insurance for any medical services they offer at the health department.

  5. My child didn't finish all the COVID-19 vaccine shots. What should we do now?

    To figure out how many vaccine doses your child needs, it depends on their age, what shots they've already had, and their health. You can check the CDC guidance for COVID-19 vaccines to find out how to finish your child's shots, or you can ask your child's doctor for more information.

  6. I got COVID-19 and flu vaccines at home from LCDHE before. Can I get my vaccines at home with LCDHE again?

    You can get COVID-19 vaccines at home from LCDHE, but they are not free for everyone anymore. To be eligible, you must:

    • Be unable to leave your home easily.
    • Be 19 years old or older and on Medicaid, uninsured, or have limited insurance.

    You need to make an appointment, and there might not be many appointments available.

  7. What's new in the updated COVID-19 vaccines?

    Pfizer and Moderna have updated their COVID-19 vaccines. They now include a part of the Omicron XBB.1.5 variant, which is a common version of the virus right now. This helps the vaccine work better against the new variant

  8. How many COVID-19 vaccine doses do I need?

    The number of vaccine doses you need depends on your age, whether you've had vaccines before, and your health. You can check the CDC guidance for COVID-19 vaccines to stay updated, or ask your doctor for more information.

  9. How can I get my COVID-19 Vaccine Records?

    There are different ways to get proof of your COVID-19 vaccination:

    • If you got vaccinated in Colorado, you can find your vaccine record in the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS). You can access it online through the CIIS public portal.
    • If your vaccine record is in CIIS, you can get an electronic copy of your vaccine card using the myColorado app if you have a Colorado state ID card or driver's license.
    • You can also ask for an official copy of your vaccine record by filling out this form. They can send it to you by email, regular mail, or you can pick it up in Fort Collins.
    • If your vaccine card is damaged or lost, you can request a replacement by filling out this form. They'll need to verify your record before giving you a new card. This might take up to 2 weeks.
    • If you find a mistake in your vaccine record, first try to contact the place where you got vaccinated. They can help fix it. If you can't reach them, you can contact CIIS through at cdphe.ciis@state.co.us or by calling 1-877-CO VAX CO (1-877-268-2926).
