New guidance for 2024-2025 vaccines
The CDC recommends all adults receive the updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine to protect against severe COVID-19.
Guidance for adults who have had a COVID-19 vaccine before
Get one dose of a 2024-2025 vaccine (Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech or Novavax). If you’re age 65 or older but you’re not moderately to severely immunocompromised, CDC no longer recommends additional vaccine doses.
Guidance for adults who have never had a COVID-19 vaccine before
If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before, choose one of these options:
- Get one dose of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, or
- Get two doses of the 2024-2025 Novavax COVID-19 vaccine at least 3 weeks apart
Guidance for adults with certain health conditions that weaken your immune system
If you have had a COVID-19 vaccine before, get one dose of the 2024-2025 Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, or Novavax vaccine. You may also be eligible to get additional doses of one of these vaccines. Ask your provider how many doses they recommend for you.
If you’ve never had a COVID-19 vaccine before, choose one of these options:
- Get three doses of the 2024-2025 Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, or
- Get two doses of the 2024-2025 Novavax vaccine
If you decide to get any vaccine outside of VA, please tell your VA health care team. You can call them or use secure messaging. For information on how to use secure messaging, please see VA secure messaging.
