How much does a COVID vaccine cost?
Many individuals can still get their vaccines at no cost. For people with health insurance, most plans will cover the vaccines. Brunswick County Health Services may have a limited supply of vaccines available at no cost to those without insurance.

The updated COVID vaccine is not considered a booster—although you may see some messaging in the community that calls it a booster. The updated vaccine is available to anyone 6 months or older who has:
- Not received a COVID vaccine in the past two months, OR
- Never received a COVID vaccine before
What do I need to bring the pop-up clinic?
Bring a photo ID. If you have insurance, bring your insurance information, too.
