Respiratory Virus Vaccines, 2025-2026 Season
Flu Vaccination
We are pleased to offer flu clinics again this year. Trivalent flu vaccines are formulated to protect against three main groups of circulating seasonal influenza Type A and B viruses: an A(H1N1) virus, an A(H3N2) virus, and a B/Victoria lineage virus. With rare exceptions, all individuals aged 6 months and older should get a flu vaccine every season.
Making an Appointment
Flu vaccinations are available to current Boulder Medical Center patients. Appointments can be scheduled via MyChart or by calling your provider’s office. If you have an upcoming appointment, you can request your flu vaccination at that time, or attend one of our Saturday clinics.
Scheduling Family Members
If scheduling for family members, ensure you are in their MyChart account when booking the appointment. Each individual must have a separate appointment time. We cannot see multiple family members in one time slot.
COVID Vaccination
COVID vaccinations are available to current Boulder Medical Center patients aged 6 months and older.
Appointments
Appointments can be scheduled via MyChart or by calling your provider’s office. If you have an upcoming appointment, you can request your COVID vaccination at that time.
COVID Vaccination Insurance Coverage and Waivers
While most insurance carriers are expected to cover this year’s COVID-19 vaccination, coverage details may vary depending on the updated recommendations from the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel, anticipated in late 2025. Because of this, all patients receiving the vaccine will be asked to sign the BMC COVID Vaccination Waiver.
If you have Medicare, you will also be asked to sign the Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-Coverage (ABN).
Additional information about COVID and the COVID vaccine is available on the CDC COVID vaccine webpage.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccination
For Infants
This year, there are two options to protect your baby from RSV. Most babies only need one, not both. Discuss with your provider the best choice for you and your child.
- RSV Vaccine given during pregnancy
- Protection is passed to the baby during pregnancy
- Vaccine given to the parent at 32 – 36 weeks of pregnancy
- Given September – January
- RSV Antibody given to the baby
- Provides direct protection to the baby
- Recommended for babies younger than eight months
- Given October – January
- Also recommended for some children aged 8-19 months if deemed still at risk for severe RSV
For Older Adults (Abrysvo)
- RSV can be dangerous for certain adults. CDC recommends the RSV vaccine for:
- Individuals aged 75 years and older
- Adults ages 50–74 who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease
