COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Patients
Your health and safety are our priority. We encourage our patients to protect themselves and those around them. Please get vaccinated, get boosted, and wear a mask.
How many COVID-19 vaccine shots do I need?
The FDA and CDC recommend that everyone age 6 months and older get vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 as soon as they are eligible.
If you have cancer now or have had cancer, the number and timing of COVID-19 shots may be different for you.
