2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine

People ages 6 months and older should get the updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine. You should get it even if you have received a COVID-19 vaccine before or have had COVID-19. For people with a weakened immune system, please talk with your primary care provider* (PCP) if you need an extra COVID-19 vaccine.

Please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to learn more.

Stay Up to Date with Your Vaccines

Getting a COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from disease, going to the hospital, and death. It is a safer way to stay protected than getting sick with COVID-19.

Vaccine protection lessens over time, so it is important to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.

Learn more at cdc.gov/covid.

Talk to Your PCP

You can make an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccine by calling your PCP. Please talk with your PCP if you have any questions or concerns about getting the vaccine. Vaccines can help keep you healthy and out of the hospital.

Get Protected Against RSV

RSV is a virus that can make some adults very sick. It can cause severe lung problems, often in older adults. It can lead to:

  • Pneumonia (lung infection)
  • Trouble breathing
  • Hospital stays
  • In rare cases, death

There’s now a vaccine to help protect you. The vaccine helps you prevent these severe problems from RSV.

Who Should Get the RSV Vaccine?

The CDC advises these adults get an RSV vaccine:

  • All people ages 75 and older
  • Adults ages 60 to 74 who have a higher risk of severe RSV

You may be at higher risk if you have:

  • Heart disease
  • Asthma or other lung disease
  • Diabetes
  • A weak immune system

Learn more about other health problems that may increase your risk for RSV at cdc.gov.

What to Know About the RSV Vaccine

  • You only need one shot.
  • You can get the vaccine at any time.
  • You can get the RSV vaccine and other vaccines at the same time.
  • It is covered by SFHP.

The vaccine is safe, but like any medicine, it can have side effects. Most are mild, like feeling sore where you got the shot.

Get Vaccines at No Cost

If you are an SFHP member, you can get these vaccines at no cost. You can make an appointment for both the COVID-19 and RSV vaccine at the same time by calling your PCP. Please talk with your PCP if you have any questions or concerns about getting vaccines. Vaccines can help keep you healthy and out of the hospital.

*A primary care provider (PCP) is the doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner in charge of your health care.
