Updated Free COVID-19 and Flu Vaccines Now Available in Los Angeles County

 

Los Angeles County residents have access to updated free COVID-19 vaccines designed to target strains currently circulating and causing most infections. The updated vaccine is recommended this fall for residents ages 6 months and older.

Any resident who is seeking vaccination with an updated 2024-2025 COVID-19 and flu vaccine will be able to do so regardless of insurance or immigration status.

Free vaccines are available to uninsured and underinsured adults at many health care providers and health centers through the California COVID-19 Bridge Access Program.  While supplies last, Public Health will also provide updated free COVID-19 and flu vaccines through its Public Health clinics, multi-service vaccination sites, and mobile teams, to ensure that the county’s most vulnerable populations, including elderly, disabled people and persons experiencing homelessness, have easy access to the new vaccines.
