COVID-19 Vaccines are safe, effective, and free

The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older should get an updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself, your family, and our community.


Updated Protection Has Arrived

The virus has evolved. So has our protection. The 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been updated to closely target the virus in the shape that it is circulating right now. This vaccine will provide better protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death.

What should I expect?

The most up to date guidance for being fully vaccinated:

  • Adults and children age 5 years and older: 1 dose of 2024–­2025 Moderna or 1 dose of 2024–­2025 Pfizer-BioNTech. Regardless of the number of COVID-19 vaccines you’ve received.
  • Children younger than 5 years and have already received a vaccine in the past three years: Speak with your child’s doctor. They 1 or 2 doses of the 2024–­2025 mRNA vaccine from the same brand given for initial vaccination.
  • For children younger than 5 years that have not received a COVID-19 vaccine: 2 doses of 2024–­2025 Moderna or 3 doses of 2024–­2025 Pfizer-BioNTech.
  • If you are immunocompromised, speak with your doctor about what is best for you. You may recommended to have additional doses are based on age and vaccination history.


How do I get the vaccine with ICHS?

ICHS clinic pharmacies are administering the 2024-2025 Pfizer (COMIRNATY) COVID-19 vaccine to adolescents and adults (ages 12 and older) on a walk-in basis.

    You do not need to be an ICHS patient to receive your COVID-19 vaccine at ICHS pharmacies.

    Appointments are not required. Please bring your photo ID and insurance card.

    Most health insurance plans cover the cost of vaccines. If you have insurance, you can always call your insurance company to see if you're covered. If you do NOT have insurance, you must pay out-of-pocket for the cost of the vaccines.

        Q&A

        You should get a COVID-19 vaccine even if you already had COVID-19.

        Getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection against COVID-19. You may consider delaying your vaccine by 3 months. However, certain factors could be reasons to get a vaccine sooner rather than later, such as:

        • personal risk of severe disease,
        • risk of disease in a loved one or close contact,
        • local COVID-19 hospital admission level,
        • and the most common COVID-19 variant currently causing illness

        People who already had COVID-19 and do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more likely to get COVID-19 again than those who get vaccinated after their recovery. 

        Yes. ICHS is proud to offer COVID-19 vaccines to those that do not have health insurance. Please walk-in to our clinic pharmacies (information is listed above). You will have to pay out of pocket for the costs however, ICHS offers a competitive low price to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

        One question that has been on almost everyone’s mind from the start is if the COVID-19 vaccines are safe. Yes, the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccines have been thoroughly tested for safety.

        To date, hundreds of millions of people have safely received a COVID-19 vaccine under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

        Yes! It's safe and effective to get both of the vaccines together at the same visit. Many patients find it more convenient to get both at the same time.

        Like other vaccines, side effects are normally mild. The side effects most commonly reported are pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site, headache, fever, and fatigue. Symptoms usually occur one to two days after vaccination and are mostly mild and resolve after a few days. These side effects are normal signs that your body is building its protection.
