Vaccinations are the best protection against severe illness and preventable disease for you, your family and your community. They are safe and effective and can help infants and young children strengthen their immune system.
Most insurance covers recommended vaccines, including flu, COVID-19 and RSV immunization for those who are eligible. For those who are uninsured, or underinsured, vaccination clinics for flu and COVID-19 are held throughout Maryland, with information posted on local health department websites listed below.
Seasonal flu shots and newly updated COVID-19 vaccines are available at pharmacies, health clinics, and local health care providers. It is recommended to call ahead of time to ask about hours, eligibility, and out-of-pocket costs. Vaccines are the first defense against respiratory viruses, to prevent severe illness and protect your whole family. You can find a flu or COVID-19 vaccine near you at vaccines.gov.
