When Should I get an Updated COVID-19 Vaccine?

When to get your updated COVID vaccine depends on your age, how many vaccine doses you’ve already gotten, and when you got them. In January of 2023, the Department of Health and Human Services issued new guidance on when to update your booster. Essentially, all vaccinated people 6 months and older should get an updated vaccine now if your last dose was before September 2022 (October 2022 for kids 6 months – 11 years).

COVID-19 Vaccines Available at Unity Care NW in Ferndale

Call 360-676-6177 for appointments, available Tuesday – Friday at Unity Care NW’s North Whatcom Health Center at 6060 Portal Way in Ferndale. If transportation is an issue, ask our schedulers about options for helping you get to your appointment.

The state’s vaccine locator can also be used by to find another available vaccination appointment locally.

How to Access Your Vaccine Records

Washington State offers an authorized service called MyIR Mobile which allows you to safely access your immunization records online.

It’s free, it’s official, and it’s secure. Once registered, you can access all of your vaccination records — including your COVID-19 vaccine records.

Masking

All people, regardless of vaccination status, are still required to wear masks in certain places, including health care settings like Unity Care NW.

The Statewide Face Covering Order issues by the Washington State Secretary of Health will remain in place for health care after the state of emergency ends Oct 31.
