• Question: How much does the COVID vaccine cost? Answer: Nothing. COVID vaccines and tests are both provided free of charge.
• The best vaccine is the one you can get right now, regardless of brand. Right now, the Johnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine is available in very limited supply, and is needed for people who have unique challenges that make it difficult to schedule them for a second dose. Many clinics have Pfizer and Moderna available now for those who are eligible and we encourage the public to take advantage of those opportunities.
