Get Vaccinated

Overview

It’s important to stay up-to-date on vaccines. If you skip vaccines, you leave yourself and others vulnerable to many diseases. 

COVID-19 Vaccines

The updated COVID-19 vaccine for 2023-24 is now available and is recommended for everyone aged 6 months and older. While CPHD’s vaccine clinics have ended, many primary care physicians (including pediatricians’ offices) and local pharmacies offer COVID-19 vaccines. Check our How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19 page to see more vaccine locations. Find locations on Vaccines.gov. COVID-19 vaccines are covered by most Massachusetts health insurance plans.

Flu Vaccines

Flu vaccines are recommended for residents aged 6 months and older. Most flu vaccines are “flu shots” given with a needle, but there is also a nasal spray flu vaccine. While CPHD’s vaccine clinics have ended, many primary care physicians (including pediatricians’ offices) and local pharmacies also offer flu vaccines to adults and children. Find locations for flu vaccine on Vaccines.gov. Flu vaccines are covered by most Massachusetts health insurance plans.
