Updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines are now available across Vermont 

  • Check your health insurance benefits.
  • Contact your pharmacy or health care provider to find out which vaccines are available and to make an appointment.
  • If you are under 65 years old and you don't have a primary care provider or health insurance, local health offices have vaccines available for free by appointment.

Stay Up to Date with Your Vaccines

Everyone 6 months and older should get one dose of the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine if it has been at least two months since their last dose of any COVID-19 vaccine. This year’s vaccines protect against serious illness from more current strains of the virus.

Some people may need additional doses, including:

  • People aged 6 months and older who are moderately or severely immunocompromised.
  • Children under 5, depending on timing and previous COVID-19 vaccinations.
  • Adults age 65 and older.

Three COVID-19 vaccines were updated for 2024-2025—Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax.

Find COVID-19 Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are available at primary care practices, pharmacies, local health offices, and other locations across Vermont. Please check with the location where you get your other routine vaccines—like flu shots—when you make an appointment to make sure they have COVID-19 vaccines available.

COVID-19 vaccines are available at no cost to you. Anyone can get vaccinated in Vermont, including those who live outside of the state and receive primary care in Vermont, are non-U.S. citizens, or who have no insurance. 

  • For most people, their health insurance will cover the cost of getting vaccinated. 
  • For people who do not have health insurance, or who have insurance that does not cover the cost of vaccines (less common), the Vermont Immunization Program can cover the cost of the vaccine directly to the provider. 
    • Health care providers can charge a small fee to give the vaccine. 
    • Talk to your doctor before getting vaccinated to find out how much it may cost. Some practices offer a sliding scale.
  • If you do not have health insurance and are under the age of 65, you can make an appointment at your local health office to get vaccinated. Local health offices do not charge a fee for giving the vaccine.

Quick Tip

Children Insured by Medicaid

Children ages 3 and older who are insured by Medicaid can get no-cost COVID-19 vaccines at Vermont pharmacies.

Adults 65+ With Insurance

Adults ages 65 and older should contact their local pharmacies to schedule their COVID-19 vaccine appointments. Health care providers may also have COVID-19 vaccines for this age group—please confirm with your doctor’s office. 

Help Getting Vaccinated

Anyone under the age of 65 without health insurance can get vaccinated by appointment at local health offices. Local health offices can also help vaccinate those under age 65 with health insurance if they are not able to get vaccinated through other locations due to lack of transportation or other barriers.

Need a ride? If you do not have transportation to get a COVID-19 vaccine, please contact your local public transportation provider or call Vermont Public Transportation Association (VPTA) at 833-387-7200.

English language learners, or immigrant or refugee community members, who would like to learn more about vaccine clinics can contact the Association of Africans Living in Vermont (AALV) at 802-985-3106.
