2023 - 2024 COVID-19 Vaccination Information
(Updated 9/15/23)

Updated 2023 - 2024 COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna will begin to be available nationwide in the coming weeks. For Dayton and Montgomery County availability please check with your local vaccine provider. Public Health anticipates receiving the vaccine in the coming weeks. We will make notification on this site and via our social media channels when it becomes available in our Public Health Clinic, and at that time we will begin the process of scheduling appointments. Please note that other providers will receive their shipments independently from Public Health.

CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get the updated 2023 - 2024 COVID-19 vaccine to protect against the potentially serious outcomes of COVID-19 illness this fall and winter.

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 COVID-19 vaccine in the past 2 months, get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself this fall and winter.

The virus that causes COVID-19 is always changing, and protection from COVID-19 vaccines declines over time. Receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine can restore protection and provide enhanced protection against the variants currently responsible for most infections and hospitalizations in the United States.  Last season, those who received a 2022-2023 COVID-19 vaccine saw greater protection against illness and hospitalization than those who did not receive a 2022-2023 vaccine.  To date, hundreds of millions of people have safely received a COVID-19 vaccineunder the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

Most Americans can still get a COVID-19 vaccine for free. For people with health insurance, most plans will cover COVID-19 vaccine at no cost to you. People who don’t have health insurance or with health plans that do not cover the cost can get a free vaccine from their local health centers; state, local, tribal, or territorial health department; and pharmacies participating in the CDC’s Bridge Access Program. Children eligible for the Vaccines for Children program also may receive the vaccine from a provider enrolled in that program.
