2023-2024 COVID-19 Vaccine

The FDA and CDC have approved newly updated Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines are designed to shield you from the expected 2023-24 respiratory virus season variants. The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get this updated COVID-19 vaccine. Most insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, CHP+, and private insurance, cover these vaccines at no cost.

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

Everyone 5  years and older is recommended to receive one dose of an updated 2023-2024 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of prior COVID-19 vaccination history.  Children aged 6 months–4 years need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines to be up to date, including at least 1 dose of updated COVID-19 vaccine. You can get a 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine as long as it’s been at least two months since your most recent dose of a previous COVID-19 vaccine. If you’ve never been vaccinated against COVID-19, you can start with an updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine.

  9. There are many ways to get documentation of your COVID-19 vaccine record. 

    • If you were vaccinated in Colorado, your COVID-19 vaccine record is likely available in the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS). You can access your Colorado immunization record through the CIIS public portal.

    • If your COVID-19 record is in CIIS, you can get an electronic version of your vaccine card via the myColorado app if you have a state-issued ID card or driver’s license.

    • You can also request an official copy of your CIIS record for yourself or your minor child by completing this form. The records can be emailed via encrypted email as a PDF attachment, mailed, or picked up at our Fort Collins office.

    • To request a replacement of your damaged or lost COVID-19 vaccine card, please complete this form. To replace your card, we will need to verify your immunization record in our record system or in the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS). Please be sure that your information is entered accurately so that we can process your request.

    • Due to high demand, replacement cards may take up to 2 weeks to be available after a request is submitted.

    • If your vaccine record is inaccurate, contact the vaccine provider you were vaccinated by first. They are in the best position to correct your record. If you are unable to contact the vaccine provider who vaccinated you, contact CIIS at cdphe.ciis@state.co.us or by calling 1-877-CO VAX CO (1-877-268-2926).
