The Cambridge Public Health Department is urging residents to get vaccinated against both COVID-19 and flu to protect against serious illness, recommending these vaccines for everyone 6 months and older. The updated 2024-25 vaccines for both viruses are designed to protect against currently circulating strains, and it's safe to receive them simultaneously.
For COVID-19, individuals should get the updated vaccine regardless of previous vaccination history, with options available from Moderna, Novavax, and Pfizer. Flu vaccination is recommended annually, with most people needing only one dose per season, except for children 8 and younger who may require two doses if it's their first flu vaccine. The health department is offering public vaccine clinics, with registration encouraged, providing flu vaccines for all ages 6 months and up, and COVID-19 vaccines for those 12 and older, with plans to offer COVID-19 vaccines for younger children once supplies arrive.
