COVID-19 Vaccines

The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, free and the most effective tool in preventing COVID-19 and reducing the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, or developing long-term COVID-19 complications. Please continue to wear a mask where appropriate and follow all other health guidelines. Stay home if you’re sick and get tested if you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms.  To find a COVID-19 vaccine near you, please visit: https://www.vaccines.gov/
