The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has approved updated shots for everyone age 6 months and older.

• If the last time you received a COVID-19 vaccine was more than two months ago, it’s time to get an updated vaccine.
• The fall 2023 updated vaccine is not yet available at the clinics listed on this webpage. Check back for future updates to our vaccine offerings.
• The virus that causes COVID-19 has changed over time. The different versions of the virus that have developed are called variants. The updated vaccine protects against the current variants that are being spread.

Why do I need an updated vaccine?

• Updated vaccine shots help build protection that has decreased since your last shot, and provide better protection against newer variants. Learn more about the updated vaccine.
• Getting the updated vaccine is an important part of protecting yourself from getting seriously ill from COVID-19.
• Vaccination reduces the chance of suffering the effects of long COVID, which can develop with any COVID-19 infection and last a long time.

Weakened immune system

People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised may need additional doses of the vaccine and should discuss options with their primary provider.

If you had or currently have COVID-19

Getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you have recovered from COVID-19 infection provides added protection.

If you recently had COVID-19, consider waiting to get the updated vaccine until it has been 3 months since your symptoms started. If you had no symptoms, consider waiting 3 months after you tested positive to vaccinate. Learn more.

If you need to replace your vaccine card or show proof of COVID-19 vaccination:

• If between doses, ask for a vaccine card when you get your second dose.
• Look up your vaccine record on the Docket app.
• If fully vaccinated, contact the Minnesota Department of Health or call 651-201-3980.
