The FDA has approved an updated COVID-19 vaccine for 2025-2026, with restrictions.
Which updated COVID-19 vaccines are available?
Moderna
On August 27, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.
SPIKEVAX
SPIKEVAX is approved for use in individuals who are:
- 65 years of age and older, or
- 6 months through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.
COMIRNATY
COMIRNATY is approved for use in individuals who are:
- 65 years of age and older, or
- 5 years through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.
What are the approved underlying conditions?
You can review the approved underlying conditions on this CDC webpage titled Underlying Conditions and the Higher Risk for Severe COVID-19.
Note: A new statewide standing medical order now allows most Wisconsinites to get the vaccine at pharmacies without a prescription.
Where can you get vaccinated?
Check with your health insurance provider to find a doctor, clinic, or pharmacy where vaccines will be available to you, and bring your insurance information to your vaccination appointment.
The COVID-19 vaccine is currently not available through VFC or VFA this year, which means NSHD (like all local health departments in Wisconsin) will not be carrying the COVID-19 vaccine in our clinics at this time.
