COVID-19 Vaccine Availability

COVID-19 vaccines are available to all U.S. citizens and residents. There are three approved vaccines; Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, Pfizer-BioNTech-Comirnanty, and Moderna. All three vaccines are safe and effective against COVID-19 and its variants.

  • The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has fully authorized the Pfizer vaccine for individuals age 16 and older.
  • The Pfizer vaccine is offered through an FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for children ages 12 -16
  • The Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines are offered through an FDA EUA for individuals age 18 and older.
DOD COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate
The DOD now requires COVID-19 vaccines for all active duty service members (ADSMs) and National Guard members. Each service will decide their own deadline for vaccination.
  • If you’re a service member and you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine from a non-DOD provider, make sure to update your medical records.
  • If you haven’t received your COVID vaccine yet, schedule your vaccine as soon as you can.
  • Find a DOD COVID Vaccine Location near you

The DOD already requires all ADSMs to get other types of vaccines before they join the military. There are very narrow religious and medical exemptions available on a case-by-case basis. If you have questions, contact your unit commander.

Recommended Third Dose

If you have an immune system that is moderately to severely compromised, the CDC recommends you may receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna). This would be at least 4 weeks after your second dose. >>Learn More
