Clinicians: CDC recommends adults ages 65 years and older receive an additional updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine dose. An additional dose of the updated COVID-19 vaccine may restore vaccine effectiveness that has waned since the fall dose, providing additional protection to older adults at highest risk of severe illness due to COVID-19. Patients without health insurance or those whose plans don't fully cover COVID-19 vaccination can get their additional dose for free through CDC's Bridge Access Program. They can visit vaccines.gov to find a vaccine near them.
