How Can I Get the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine?

• The Bridge Access Program (BAP) provides no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to adults without health insurance and adults whose insurance does not cover all COVID-19 vaccine costs. 

• Providers participating in the Bridge Access Program are contractually obligated to add vaccine availability to vaccines.gov.

• Our immunization clinic does not participate in the BAP program, unfortunately.

• The public can check with their pharmacy to see if they have the updated COVID vaccine and get scheduling information.

• Vaccines.gov  is a free resource people can use to locate a provider that carries the updated COVID vaccine and is a participating BAP provider as well.

• Check out CDC's BAP Fact Sheet: English Version of BAP Fact Sheet &  Spanish Version of BAP Fact Sheet.
