Questions About Getting Your Vaccine

We are committed to providing information about when you and your loved ones can get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Everyone, ages 5 and older who either have never received a vaccine or who haven’t received a COVID-19 vaccine in at least 2 months can receive a commercially available COVID-19 vaccine at UC Health. Vaccines for children, ages 6 months to 4 years, are also available under a different vaccine schedule that may require more than one dose.

At this time, individuals, ages 7 and older, can receive a COVID-19 vaccine at UC Health’s outpatient pharmacies.

Visit the CDC website to view the specific criteria required to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

*A minor must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (adult must have a photo ID) at their appointment. The parent/guardian is required to sign a consent form and be available for any possible adverse reactions.

The COVID-19 vaccine is now considered an annual vaccine (1x/year). Just like the Flu vaccine, it’s important to get an annual ‘booster dose’. Due to the fact Flu and COVID-19 viruses and variants change over time—it's necessary for new vaccine formulations to be developed on a regular basis to ensure they treat the most active strains of the virus. View details on the CDC website.

Appointments are strongly encouraged. Walk-in visits may be available during business hours—based on availability.  COVID-19 vaccines provided by UC Health Outpatient Pharmacies. Follow the instructions below to schedule your vaccine appointment.

Due to the fact the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency has ended, and vaccines are no longer supplied by the government, COVID-19 vaccines are now commercially available—and may have an expense associated with them. Most medical insurance companies will cover the entire cost of the vaccine for each insured party. 

Please check your insurance provider in advance to confirm what your plan covers. The CDC also offers vaccine discounts at select locations. 

Before your visit, we recommend you log in to your My UC Health (MyChart) account and complete the required vaccine eCheck-in process so that you have less wait time on the day of your appointment.
