Availability of the New Monovalent 2023-2024 COVID-19 Vaccines

The new monovalent 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines have been approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Immunization Practices (ACIP) for people 6 months and older.

The 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines’ are now ordered and delivered through the commercial market. Effective immediately, healthcare providers and COVID-19 vaccine providers will now order and receive the vaccines through these normal delivery channels. Previously, COVID-19 vaccine providers ordered the COVID-19 vaccines through the Oregon Health Authority or local COVID-19 vaccine hubs. 

Insurance plans will cover the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires insurers to cover most ACIP-recommended vaccines without cost sharing. 

Currently, the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines may be difficult to locate and receive due to manufacturing delays. To find where people may receive the 2023-2023 COVID-19 vaccines, people should contact their healthcare provider, pharmacy, or federally qualified health center (FQHC). They can also search for a clinic by ZIP code by visiting vaccinefinder.org, or by calling 211 or visiting 211info.org.

Due to manufacturing delays, Jackson County Public Health’s Immunization Clinic does not currently have the new monovalent 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines. Once Jackson County Public Health has received the updated COVID-19 vaccine from the manufacturers, a notification will be posted on the Jackson County Health & Human Services website and the Jackson County Public Health Immunization Clinic website.
