Questions About Getting Your Vaccine

All those ages 5* and older can receive a COVID-19 vaccine at UC Health.

Vaccine recipients do not have to be Ohio residents or established UC Health patients to schedule an appointment.

*The Pfizer vaccine is the only one authorized for individuals under 18. A parent or legal guardian must be present with a photo ID with a minor at their appointment to sign a consent form and be available for any possible adverse reactions.

Eligible individuals who have received either two doses of an mRNA vaccine or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine, and whose immune systems are weakened due to certain medical conditions or therapies are eligible for an additional dose.

Visit the CDC website to view the specific criteria required to receive an additional or third COVID-19 vaccine.

Eligible individuals can now request a booster dose from a manufacturer that is different from their original COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer (based on availability). View details on the CDC website.
