Get adult vaccines

Getting vaccinated (immunized) is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones from dangerous diseases. You can get the shots you need even if you don’t have health insurance.

Vaccines are recommended for adults based on age, health conditions, job, and other factors. You can get a list of vaccines you need by using the Adult Vaccine Assessment Tool (CDC).

If you're insured

If you have health insurance, the best way to get vaccinated is to make an appointment with your doctor. Some vaccines are also available at pharmacies. Call ahead to check that they have the vaccines you need. Ask if they’ll be covered by your insurance.

If you're uninsured

If you don’t have health insurance, you can get vaccinated at a City health center  or a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Call ahead to make an appointment. Ask if you’ll need ID or proof of residency to get vaccinated. These centers can also help you apply for affordable health insurance.
