Vaccine FAQs

Based on guidance from trusted professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, and Infectious Diseases Society of America, COVID-19 vaccination for the following groups is recommended:
- Infants and children 6–23 months old
- Children and adolescents 2–18 years old based on risk groups or parental request
- Adults 19 years and older, including during pregnancy and lactation
If you have questions about the 2025–2026 COVID-19 vaccine, reach out to your primary care provider.
Is it safe to get the COVID and flu vaccine at the same time?
Yes, it is safe to get the COVID and flu vaccine at the same time. Vaccines given with a needle at the same visit should be given at separate places on the body (at least one inch apart). Adults and older children can get them in the same arm at least an inch apart, or they can get them in different arms. Young children can get them in the same thigh at least an inch apart, or they can get them in different thighs.
Where can patients be vaccinated?
Patients may choose to be vaccinated in their primary care office or at local pharmacies. Availability may vary, and some pharmacies in Missouri may require a prescription. Retail pharmacies in Illinois and Kansas do not require a prescription. St. Louis County’s department of public health has walk-in vaccine clinics where residents may obtain a COVID-19 vaccine. Other local health departments may also provide vaccinations. Kansas City area residents can check COVID-19 vaccine availability here.
Do I need to get the new vaccine if I was previously boosted?
Yes, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, and Infectious Diseases Society of America recommend vaccination with the updated 2025–2026 formulation.
What 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccines are available through BJC?
