Yes, it is still possible to get a COVID vaccine, but availability and eligibility have become more limited as of 2025. The FDA has restricted COVID vaccine use to primarily people aged 65 and older and those with certain high- risk medical conditions. Healthy adults younger than 65 generally face difficulty obtaining the vaccine, and the same applies to healthy children, though some jurisdictions may have varying recommendations. Updated vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax are available or arriving soon at doctor's offices and pharmacies, mainly for those who qualify under these criteria. Eligibility typically includes the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and people with conditions like asthma, diabetes, or obesity.
Thus, whether one can get a COVID vaccine depends on age and health status, with emphasis on protecting those at higher risk.
