COVID-19 Vaccination
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends COVID-19 vaccines for everyone age 6 months and older. Northwestern Medicine follows CDC guidelines for giving the COVID-19 vaccine.
The current COVID-19 vaccine is called the “bivalent” vaccine. The number of doses and time between doses varies by age and medical history. See the current CDC guidelines on COVID-19 vaccination to learn more about how these guidelines impact you and your family. If you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, please talk to your primary care physician.
Northwestern Medicine offers the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent vaccine. You have several options for getting this vaccine at Northwestern Medicine.
