The updated COVID vaccine closely targets circulating COVID-19 variants. The Clovis CVS Pharmacy at 1794 Ashlan Ave can administer COVID-19 vaccines to patients age 5 and older.
Houston Medical, a 2022-2023 U.S. News & World Report Top 20 U.S. hospital, reported why the new COVID-19 vaccine formulations are different from previous COVID boosters. According to Houston Medical, these updated formulations don’t just “boost” protection against particular COVID-19 variants. Because these new formulations update a patient’s immune system to recognize the strains of the COVID-19 virus they’re most likely to encounter, they’re called vaccines instead of COVID boosters.
A no-cost COVID vaccine may be available to you at CVS depending on your insurance plan. Insurance plans vary, and not all insurance plans are in network at CVS. Verify with your insurance plan where you are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccination at no cost to you.
Yes. CVS Pharmacy is participating in the CDC Bridge Access Program , which provides no-cost COVID-19 vaccines to eligible adults without health insurance. No-cost COVID-19 vaccines through this program will be available through December 31, 2024.
If CVS is not in network with your insurance plan you can still choose to receive the COVID vaccine at CVS. However, you will be charged $190.99 for the COVID-19 vaccination. You may also contact your insurance provider to determine where you can obtain a COVID-19 vaccination at no cost to you.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. To date, hundreds of millions of people have safely received a COVID vaccine under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.
The CDC recommends updated an COVID-19 vaccination for individuals age 6 months or older.
If you’ve never been vaccinated for COVID-19, you can receive:
-
An age-appropriate dose of the updated Moderna or Pfizer BioNTech vaccination.
-
Two doses of the updated Novavax COVID-19 vaccine administered at least three weeks apart.
Adults age 65 or older who have already received one dose of the updated 2023 to 2024 COVID-19 vaccine should receive an additional dose at least four months after their previous per the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Specific vaccine recommendations may vary by previous vaccination history, age, or whether you are moderately or severely immunocompromised. Please talk to a pharmacist or healthcare provider to help determine what's best for you. You can also use the CVS.com® digital scheduler and the CVS Pharmacy app.
Pediatric doses of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 through 11 are available at select CVS Pharmacy locations.
Find out if the 1794 Ashlan Ave CVS has pediatric COVID vaccines available on CVS.com® or in the CVS Pharmacy app.
Yes. The CDC recommends that people aged 65 years and older receive the recommended dose(s) of updated mNRA or Novavax COVID vaccines.
In addition, as we get older, our immune systems tend to weaken over time, putting us at higher risk for certain infections. Adults ages 65 and older should make sure they’re up to date on these vaccines, too:
-
Flu vaccine
-
Pneumococcal vaccine
-
Shingles vaccine (zoster)
-
Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, also called whooping cough) or Td (tetanus and diphtheria)
You may need other vaccines based on age or other factors, too. Talk with your doctor for more information about which vaccines are recommended for you. This may include:
-
RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) — adults aged 60 years or older should talk to their health care provider about getting a single dose of RSV vaccine.
The bivalent COVID-19 vaccine and other previously authorized COVID-19 boosters and vaccines are no longer authorized for use. The CDC now recommends that most individuals receive a single dose of an updated vaccine authorized by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), regardless of the individual’s previous vaccination status.
According to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), patients age 5 or older do not have to match the updated COVID vaccine dose they receive to the brand they received during their primary series or any previous dose(s). For children ages 6 months through 4 years, the CDC recommends vaccination with the same COVID-19 vaccine.
Currently, CVS Pharmacy locations offering the updated COVID-19 vaccine to eligible populations have either the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. All CVS Pharmacy locations also offer the updated Novavax protein-based COVID-19 vaccine. You can see appointment availability and which COVID vaccine is available at the 1794 Ashlan Ave CVS Pharmacy on CVS.com before scheduling.
Patients who are interested in receiving a Novavax non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccine should speak with the pharmacist. The Novavax COVID vaccine is available at all CVS Pharmacy locations subject to local availability.
