COVID-19 Vaccines Provided by UT Health San Antonio
Primary Series
Primary series doses depend on your age, your health status, what vaccine you first received, and when you first got vaccinated. Review the CDC’s webpage and recommendation chart to understand how to stay up-to-date with your COVID-19 vaccines.
Booster Shots
This CDC chart outlines who should get a booster, when to get a booster and which booster you should get. Schedule your booster shot online or through your MyChart account.
Vaccine and Booster Shot Recommendations for Immunocompromised Individuals
Those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised (have a weakened immune system) are at increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness and death. Their immune response to the COVID-19 vaccination may not be as strong as in people who are not immunocompromised. Learn more about CDC vaccine and booster recommendations for moderately or severely immunocompromised people.
Vaccines and booster shots can be scheduled online or through your MyChart account.
If you have concerns or questions about which vaccine you should receive, speak with your health care provider.

Is there a fee for the COVID-19 vaccine?
Vaccine recipients will have no out-of-pocket expenses; they are free. A small administration fee may be charged to the insurance on file.
For patients who have Medicare, Medicaid or a third-party insurer, your insurer will be billed a nominal fee of $17 for the first dose and $28 for the second dose per Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) allowable charges for the extra supplies and staffing to administer the vaccine
