Please note that all participants will need to provide insurance information or be assessed on the sliding fee scale. The cost of the vaccine is covered by most insurance, including Medicaid and Medicare for adults. For participants who are uninsured, have DC Alliance, or children with Medicaid, the cost of the vaccine will be a $23 administration fee. We have limited availability of free vaccines for uninsured adults.
Anyone who last received the vaccine more than 2 months ago. If you have never received any COVID-19 doses or booster, the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine, will provide the immunization you need to be protected from the virus. Please see the guidelines for specific age groups and populations.
Children aged 6 months–4 years need multiple doses of COVID-19 vaccines to be up to date, including at least 1 dose of updated COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccine recommendations will be updated by the CDC as needed.

Early this year, we launched our first-ever Long COVID Clinic to provide comprehensive care to individuals who have been affected by the long-term effects of COVID-19.
The Long COVID Clinic is led by Dr. Sarah Ali, Director of Infectious Diseases, with additional support from other departments.
Depending on the initial assessment and specific needs, the care team might also coordinate access to additional specialties.
