From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

• CDC recommends everyone stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, including all primary series doses and boosters for their age group:
  • Ages 6 months through 4 years should get all COVID-19 primary series doses,
  • Ages 5 years and older should get all primary series doses, and updated COVID-19 boosters if eligible.
• Getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection against COVID-19.
• People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters.
• For people ages 12 years and older, the only authorized mRNA booster is the updated (bivalent) booster. People ages 12 years and older can no longer get the original (monovalent) mRNA booster.
• COVID-19 vaccine and booster recommendations may be updated as CDC continues to monitor the latest data.

When are you up to date?

You are up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines if you have completed a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received the most recent booster dose recommended for you by CDC. Vaccine recommendations are based on your age, the vaccine you first received, and time since last dose. People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised have different recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines.
