COVID-19 Vaccination

COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months old and up. They are safe, effective, and easy to get!

CDC has recommended everyone 6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine this fall/winter. COVID-19 is always changing and protection from COVID-19 vaccines declines over time. This vaccine is a better match to protect against current variants.
