Schedule your COVID-19 vaccine

Yes, but not all insurance plans are in network at CVS. The COVID-19 vaccine may be no cost to you at CVS depending on your insurance plan. Insurance plans vary, and your insurance plan determines where you are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination at no cost to you.

Schedule your COVID-19 vaccine

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the amount and duration of protection from vaccination or infection can vary from person to person. It is expected that protection from the updated vaccine will decline over time. However, vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19 related hospitalization and death.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends updated COVID-19 vaccination for everyone age 6 months or older to better protect you and your loved ones. Please talk to your pharmacist or provider to help determine what’s best for you.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not prefer the use of any one COVID-19 vaccine over another when more than one recommended and age-appropriate vaccine is available.

For individuals age 5 or older who are not immunocompromised and have never been vaccinated against COVID-19, the CDC recommends one dose of the updated 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine. If you are moderately or severely immunocompromised, it is recommended you receive an initial vaccination series. Be sure to speak with your health care provider about the most recent and relevant recommendations.

Scheduling a COVID-19 vaccine at CVS®

Appointments may be scheduled at CVS.com® or the CVS Pharmacy app. CVS Pharmacy® also accepts walk-ins, seven days a week, including during evening and weekend hours.

Yes. Providers may simultaneously administer COVID-19 and flu vaccines.

Currently, CVS Pharmacy locations offering the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible populations have either the Moderna, Novavax or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Patients can see which CVS Pharmacy location has which vaccine and appointment availability on CVS.com before scheduling.

COVID-19 vaccine safety

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

According to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), patients age 5 or older do not have to match the COVID-19 vaccine dose they receive to the brand they received during their primary series or to any previous dose(s). For children ages 6 months through 4 years, vaccination with the same COVID-19 vaccine brand is recommended.

All the COVID-19 vaccines recommended by the CDC are safe. People age 65 or older should receive the recommended number of dose(s) of the updated COVID-19 vaccine (2024–2025 formula).

Doses of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5 through 11 are available at select CVS Pharmacy® locations. We recommend parents and guardians check CVS.com® or the CVS Pharmacy app to find locations near them with available appointments.

Doses of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 18 months through 4 years are available at MinuteClinic® locations. Visit MinuteClinic.com to schedule an appointment.

COVID-19 vaccine costs

The COVID-19 vaccine is available at no cost through most insurance plans, including Medicare Part B. 

CVS Pharmacy® and MinuteClinic® can directly bill many national and regional health plans that cover all or part of the cost of a flu shot. Check with your health insurance provider to confirm coverage. 

Yes. If you have insurance that does not include CVS as an in-network pharmacy, we recommend you contact your insurance provider to determine where you may obtain a COVID-19 vaccination at no cost to you. Alternatively, you can choose to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at CVS. However, you will be charged $201.99 for the vaccination.
