Frequently asked questions
What might vaccination cost?
If you have insurance, including Medicare or Medicaid, your Pneumococcal Pneumonia, RSV, Flu, and COVID‑19 vaccinations may be available at no additional cost to you. Please contact your insurance company for specific cost information for these vaccines. People without insurance may pay the list price per dose, plus any additional pharmacy charges that may apply.
How can I help protect myself from RSV and pneumococcal pneumonia?
There’s some obvious things you can do. Like washing your hands, avoiding close contact with sick people, and cleaning surfaces can help stop the spread of RSV and pneumococcal pneumonia. But getting vaccinated is one of the best ways to help protect yourself from these diseases.
How long does the COVID‑19 vaccine last?
The COVID‑19 vaccine offers protection, but it weakens over time. But that’s not the whole story. The virus that causes COVID‑19 is constantly evolving, so your protection from one strain may not cover others. That’s why the protection you may have had from one vaccine, may not protect you in the future.
Plus, you should be aware that the protection you get from your immune system also naturally decreases over time. That’s why it’s always best to get the latest, updated version of the COVID‑19 vaccine available to help build immunity against the latest strain.
Can you get COVID‑19 from the COVID‑19 vaccine?
No, you cannot get COVID‑19 from the vaccine. That’s because none of the COVID‑19 vaccines recommended for use in the U.S. contain a live virus.
Can I get more than one updated COVID‑19 vaccine?
Yes. Anyone who is moderately to severely immunocompromised may get additional doses of this season’s COVID‑19 vaccine and people 65 and older should get one additional dose at least 4 months following the previous dose.
If I’m currently sick with COVID‑19, can I get the latest COVID‑19 vaccine?
No. It’s not recommended that you get the vaccine while you are sick. You should wait until you are no longer testing positive and start to feel better to prevent exposing others to the virus.
