The COVID-19 vaccines are always free of charge, regardless of residency, immigration status, or health insurance status. No ID is required.

Getting vaccinated is key to ending the pandemic. The risk of severe illness from COVID-19 is increased for some groups — including older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, immunocompromised people, and pregnant people.
Booster doses and third doses are now recommended for some groups of people who are at increased risk for illness from COVID-19. Booster doses are common for many vaccines.
We encourage people to get vaccinated as soon as possible and mask up in crowded public spaces. This is how we are going to end this pandemic and keep it behind us.
Residents are reminded to report any side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The toll-free number is (800)-822-7967 or report to vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.html.
