Who should get the vaccine?

Right now, vaccine doses are being given to our most at-risk healthcare workers. Once the vaccine is more widely available, there are just a few restrictions set for each vaccine.

  • Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine will be available for individuals over the age of 16. Studies are ongoing to determine the safety of the vaccine in children under 16.
  • Moderna COVID-19 vaccine will be available for individuals over the age of 18. Studies are ongoing to determine the safety of the vaccine in children under 18.
  • Pre-existing health conditions will also be reviewed prior to a vaccine being given.
  • If you are allergic to any ingredients, you should not get the vaccine.
