COVID-19 Vaccines

Frequently asked questions

Safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are now available for everyone six months old and up. These FAQs provide general information about vaccines. Please consult with your provider if you have additional questions.

Here are answers to common questions.

When and where can I get my vaccine?

COVID-19 vaccines are available throughout the United States. You can search a national vaccine site map to find a site near you.

Is the COVID-19 vaccine covered at no cost to our members?

  • Members have coverage for COVID-19 vaccines as a preventive service with no cost share when you get a vaccine from an in-network provider. We recommend you use MyCare Finder to find an in-network provider that accepts your plan’s benefits. If you receive a vaccine from an out-of-network provider, you may have to pay out-of-pocket costs.

Should I get a COVID-19 vaccine?

A COVID-19 vaccination will help keep you from getting seriously ill with COVID-19, and may protect you from getting sick at all. It may also protect people around you. If you have concerns about your unique health situation, talk to your doctor about the best choice for you.

Vaccines prepare your immune system to fight the virus if you are exposed. Learn more about the benefits of getting a COVID-19 vaccination from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

I’ve already had COVID-19. Do I still need a vaccine?

Vaccination can still help protect you even if you’ve already had COVID-19.

I've already received a COVID-19 vaccine. Do I need the 2023-2024 vaccine?

The CDC recommends that everyone six months of age and older receive the updated 2023-2024 vaccines. The virus that causes COVID-19 changes, and the protection you get from the vaccine declines over time. Getting an updated vaccine can better protect you, and those around you, from COVID-19.

I’ve been hearing scary information about COVID-19 vaccines. Is it true?

Unfortunately, there have been myths about the vaccines spread through social media and other untrustworthy sources. To get accurate facts, visit the CDC’s website, which provides detailed and up-to-date information on the COVID-19 vaccines and the pandemic.
