Vaccines

Staying up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines and following public health recommendations is the best way to protect you and your loved ones against severe illness from COVID-19.

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine is free. You may be asked to verify your age to ensure you and your family get an age appropriate dose.You do not need state-issued ID or insurance to get the vaccine.

You can get the vaccine for free no matter what your immigration or citizenship status is. Vaccinations do not count under the public charge rule. You should not be asked about your immigration or citizenship status when you get a COVID-19 vaccine. The federal government has confirmed they will not do immigration operations at or near vaccination sites and clinics.
