What to Know

  • The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from severe disease, hospitalization, and death.
  • Everyone ages 6 months and older should get an updated 2024–25 COVID-19 vaccine
  • It is especially important to get your 2024–25 COVID-19 vaccine if you are 65 or older, are at high risk for severe COVID-19, or have never received a COVID-19 vaccine in the past.
  • Vaccine protection decreases over time, so it is important to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine.

Specific Guidelines by Group

Children ages 6 months-4 years

If your child was never previously vaccinated against COVID-19, they will receive multiple doses of 2024-25 vaccine in order to be up-to-date. Talk to your child's health care provider to find out how many doses your child needs based on their vaccination history.

If your child was fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at any time in the past, they should get 1 dose of updated 2024-25 vaccine now.

Children ages 5-11 years

Your child should get 1 dose of updated 2024-25 vaccine.

People ages 12 and older

You should get 1 dose of updated 2024-25 vaccine.

People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised

There are different recommendations if you are moderately or severely immunocompromised; see more information about Vaccines for Moderately to Severely Immunocompromised People, and talk to your health care provider about your vaccination schedule.

People who recently had COVID-19

If you were recently sick with COVID-19, your body still has some protection against the virus. You may choose to delay getting your updated COVID-19 vaccine for up to 3 months.

 

The Baltimore City Health Department recommends that all eligible residents receive the mRNA vaccine - Moderna or Pfizer. If an individual 18 years and older is unable to receive a mRNA vaccine due to a history of allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, or other contraindication, a Novavax vaccine may be given.
