Heading out of town for Labor Day? COVID-19 levels are still high in California and throughout the United States. The CDPH encourages Californians to take steps to reduce COVID-19 risk, especially while traveling:
Consider masking in crowded indoor settings, like airports and planes.
If sick, avoid traveling. Stay away from others and test.
Seek prescription treatments if you test positive.
Wash your hands regularly and always cover your cough and sneezes.
As National Immunization Month wraps up this week, share important messages encouraging vaccination among adults. Staying up to date with recommended vaccinations can help prevent serious complications and hospitalizations, especially among older adults or adults with underlying chronic conditions. Adults should receive the following immunizations:
Updated flu and COVID-19
Tdap
Zoster (50+ years old)
Pneumonia (65+ years old)
RSV (75+ years old and adults 60-74 years old with certain chronic health conditions)
Schedule vaccine appointments with your health care provider, at a local pharmacy or at MyTurn.ca.gov.
