Updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendation
Everyone ages 6 months and older should get the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have received a COVID-19 vaccine before and people who have had COVID-19.
The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect you from severe disease, hospitalization, and death. It is especially important to get your 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine if you are ages 65 and older, are at high risk for severe COVID-19, or have never received a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccine protection decreases over time, so it is important to stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine.
The new COVID-19 vaccine
The FDA has recently approved updated mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines for the upcoming respiratory illness season (approximately September 2024–May 2025). The vaccines are expected to be available in September, with pharmacies acting as the primary provider of the vaccine. Both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines offer renewed protection against the current variants of the COVID-19 virus, which keeps evolving to challenge our immune systems. (FDA press release, August 22, 2024.)
Staying Up to Date with COVID-19 Vaccines
Getting the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is important because:
- Protection from the COVID-19 vaccine decreases with time.
- COVID-19 vaccines are updated to give you the best protection from the currently circulating strains.
Getting the 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine is especially important if you:
- Never received a COVID-19 vaccine
- Are ages 65 years and older
- Are at high risk for severe COVID-19
- Are living in a long-term care facility
- Are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant, or might become pregnant in the future.
- Want to lower your risk of getting Long COVID
Keep in mind, getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer, more reliable way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19.
When are you up to date?
- Ages 12 years and older are up to date when they have received one dose of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine by either Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech.
- Children ages 5-11 years are up to date when they have received one dose of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine by either Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech.

疫苗介紹
Are COVID-19 vaccines safe?
安全。COVID-19 疫苗與其他疫苗無異，均已通過美國嚴格審查，且紐約州更成立 COVID-19 獨立臨床諮詢小組，批准 COVID-19 疫苗的安全性與有效性。FDA 和 CDC 會持續監測疫苗的新興副作用。
疫苗有用嗎？
有用。根據臨床試驗、實際經驗與觀察，美國目前流通的疫苗均有保護作用，降低民眾感染 COVID-19 後重症、住院和死亡機率。沒有疫苗能夠 100% 有效，完全接種的民眾仍有可能染疫。但有關「突破性感染」的相關資料指出，這些病患的症狀通常較為溫和。疫苗還可抑制 COVID-19 傳播，從而保護他人。
疫苗會讓我感染 COVID-19 嗎？
不會，美國授權或審查的疫苗均非使用活體病毒製成，不會造成您感染 COVID-19。
About Getting vaccinated
接種疫苗就不會感染 COVID-19 嗎？
否。仍然有可能感染這種疾病。但是，如果您及時接種疫苗，您患重病、住院或死亡的風險就會低得多。
接種疫苗會造成我之後的 COVID-19 病毒檢測呈陽性嗎？
不會，經過授權的疫苗不會造成檢測呈現陽性。
接種疫苗後仍可能感染他人嗎？
是。如果您接觸到患有 COVID-19 的人，您應該對其他人採取預防措施，直到您確定自己沒有被感染（接觸後大約 5 天）。如果您感染了 COVID-19 ，即使您已接種最新疫苗，也應該與他人隔離。
得過 COVID-19 還應接種疫苗嗎？
是。科學研究指出，與身體在感染時建立的防衛機制相比，疫苗可提供更好、更長久的保護作用。
接種 COVID-19 疫苗可以同時施打流感疫苗嗎？
Yes. There is no required interval of time between receiving a COVID-19 vaccine and any other vaccine, such as the flu shot (you may want to consider getting one in each arm rather than both in the same arm). The Health Department recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a flu shot every year. Most local pharmacies provide flu vaccines, or contact your primary care provider.
