COVID-19 Vaccination

9/13/23 Update

CDC has recommended everyone 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against the potentially serious outcomes of COVID-19 this fall and winter. More info here.

COVID-19 is always changing and protection from COVID-19 vaccines declines over time. This vaccine is a better match to protect against current variants.  

Updated COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna will be available later this week. Check out vaccines.gov to find a provider near you!  

At the Health Department, we don't have the updated vaccine yet. Please don’t call to schedule yet. We will share updates as we have them.  

IMPORTANT:  

  • If you have private health insurance, please go to your doctor or pharmacy to get your updated vaccine. The cost for the vaccine has changed and we are now charging insurance. We accept Medicaid, Blue Care Network, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. We cannot bill other private insurance. 
  • As with other vaccines, we won’t deny services to people who are unable to pay. 

In the meantime, the existing bivalent vaccines are no longer authorized. No COVID-19 vaccines are available until the new, updated version becomes available.  

Thank you for your patience! 


COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months old and up. They are safe, effective, and easy to get!
