Public Health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved an updated COVID-19 booster shot that helps protect against the omicron variant, which is currently the leading cause of COVID-19. Individuals 12 years old and up who received their original vaccine or received their last booster dose more than two months ago are now eligible to receive the new booster shot. Getting a booster dose now can help protect you and your loved ones from severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19, and is especially important as we head into the colder fall and winter months.
The New Haven Health Department offers COVID-19 vaccines on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and until 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. The Health Department is located at 54 Meadow Street and no appointment is needed. To find another vaccine provider close to you, you can visit COVID19.newhavenct.gov or call the New Haven Health Department at 203-946-6999.
