Vaccination Information

CDC has updated COVID-19 recommendations for people 65 years and older and people who are moderately or severely immunocompromised:

• CDC recommends a second dose of 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine for adults ages 65 years and older;
• CDC recommends a second dose of 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine for people ages 6 months–64 years who are moderately or severely immunocompromised;
• CDC recommends additional doses (i.e., 3 or more doses) of 2024– 2025 COVID-19 vaccine for people ages 6 months and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised under shared clinical decision-making.

The recommendation acknowledges the increased risk of severe disease from COVID-19 in older adults and those who are immunocompromised along with the currently available data on vaccine effectiveness and year-round circulation of COVID-19.

Public Health has COVID-19 vaccine available for adults and provides vaccination in our Public Health Clinic located in the Reibold Building in downtown Dayton.

Vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19-related hospitalization and death. Vaccination also reduces your chance of suffering the effects of  long COVID which can develop during or following acute infection and last for an extended duration.  If you have not received a 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine  get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself this fall and winter.
