Health organizations are promoting vaccination as a way to protect against serious illness. Certain groups are eligible for COVID-19 shots, including adults 65 and older and those with underlying medical conditions.

People with conditions that put them at risk may be able to get a vaccine. The American Academy of Family Physicians has its own guidance on who should receive an updated vaccine.

Further details about vaccine eligibility and recommendations are available, including information about the latest vaccine approval and variant targeting.
