Getting the Vaccine
Last updated 6/23/2022
Contra Costa Health is here to offer reliable information about ways to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. The safe, effective and free COVID-19 vaccine is one of the best ways to prevent getting very sick.
This page has information about how and where you can get vaccinated through different vaccine providers.

Who Can Get Vaccinated
All people ages 6 months and older can get a safe, effective and free COVID-19 vaccine. People can get vaccinated through County and State-run sites, pharmacies and other healthcare systems.
Boosters
A booster dose is recommended for everyone ages 5 years and older for added protection. Adults ages 18 and older may choose any brand of vaccine for their booster. People ages 5-17 can only get Pfizer for their booster. People at higher risk, including people ages 50 years and older, should get a second booster dose.

Ages 5-17: A Pfizer booster is available to people who received their second dose of Pfizer at least 5 months ago.

Ages 18+: People ages 18 and older can get a booster dose of their choice if the minimum time has passed since completing their primary vaccine series:
-
Pfizer or Moderna: Booster available to people who received their second dose at least 5 months ago.
