Coronavirus (COVID-19)


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 uninsured participants, who have DC Alliance, or have children with Medicaid, the cost of the vaccine will be a $23 administration fee. We have limited availability of free vaccines for uninsured adults.

Who should get the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine?

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.

COVID-19 Vaccines for Children 6 months to 4 Years Old

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.

Mask Policy at Mary’s Center

As of 12/27/23, masking will be required for ALL Mary’s Center participants and participant-facing staff due to the increase in respiratory virus hospitalizations in our community. This decision is informed by guidelines from the local Departments of Health. As a reminder, updated COVID-19 vaccines are another way to protect against the high rates of respiratory illness.
