COVID-19 Immunizations - What You Need to Know

COVID-19 Immunizations - FAQs

Does Cascade Medical have COVID-19 vaccine in stock? Can I make an appointment?

Currently Cascade Medical carries juvenile COVID booster shots. At this time we are not carrying adult COVID-19 vaccines or boosters. We will update this page when we receive additional doses. 

Who should get an additional dose of COVID-19 vaccine?

The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older get at least one dose of updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. The updated vaccine should be given at least two months after last dose if previously vaccinated. Children 6 months-4 years may need multiple doses depending on previous number of doses received.

I am immune compromised. How many COVID-19 vaccines should I get?

You can find the CDC guidelines for immunocompromised people here.

What do I need to know before I get my vaccine?

According to the CDC, you should get an updated COVID-19 vaccine even if you’ve already had COVID-19.

  • Getting a COVID-19 vaccine after you recover from COVID-19 infection provides added protection against the virus that causes COVID-19.
  • People who already had COVID-19 and do not get vaccinated after their recovery are more likely to get COVID-19 again than those who get vaccinated after their recovery.

Is there a cost for the COVID-19 vaccine?

Like other vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines will likely be covered by most insurance plans. COVID-19 vaccines will continue to be available at no cost to all children in Washington state until their 19th birthday through the Vaccines for Children program. There are also programs for adults that can help cover costs of getting vaccinated if they don’t have health insurance or their plan doesn’t cover the vaccine. Visit HHS.gov for more information on these programs.
