Everyone 6 months and older is eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines and boosters now protect against both the original virus that causes COVID-19 and the Omicron variant BA.4 and BA.5.

• Pfizer: Children ages 6 months – 4 years who are currently completing a Pfizer primary series can receive a Pfizer vaccine as their third primary dose.
• Moderna: Children ages 6 months – 5 years who have completed a Moderna primary series can receive a Moderna booster two months after they complete their primary series.
  • Children who are 5 years and have completed a Moderna primary series can receive either a Pfizer or Moderna booster (See boosters section, below).

The best place to get your child vaccinated is at their regular pediatrician’s office. Call before you go to make sure they have vaccines.

Children and adults can get vaccinated at health centers. People three years and up can get vaccines at many pharmacies.

If you need an in-home vaccine, contact the Health Department Call Center at (215) 685-5488.

Anyone 6 months and older* can get a booster dose after they’ve completed their COVID-19 vaccine series. Find out when you should get boosted.

* Note: Children 6 months – 4 years of age who have already completed their three-dose primary series with the original (monovalent) Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine are not eligible for a booster dose of an updated (bivalent) vaccine at this time.

To get a booster, you’ll need to show your vaccine card or a photo of your vaccine card. If you’ve lost your card, you can get a replacement vaccine record.

If you need an in-home booster, contact the Health Department Call Center at (215) 685-5488.

COVID-19 vaccines are free to everyone living in the United States.

Vaccine providers can bill your health insurance (if you have any), but they can’t charge you money for the vaccination.

Four COVID-19 vaccines are used in the United States. Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, or Novavax are preferred. In some situations, you may get Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.

Vaccine timing varies. It’s based on the type of vaccine and the age of the person getting vaccinated. Booster recommendations also vary by vaccine type and age.

For details, visit the CDC’s guide to staying up-to-date on your vaccines.

You can get vaccinated or boosted at a City health center if you’re a registered patient. To make an appointment for a registered adult or a child, call (215) 685-2933.

Not a regular health center patient? You can get your vaccine during walk-in hours at an annex. If you’re bringing a young child for a vaccine, call (215) 685-2933 to ask about availability.
