The County of Los Angeles is regularly updating resources on COVID-19 and offers today's update in an effort to keep you and yours informed. Please share the following up-to-date information:
Coming Soon: Free Flu Shots at Select LA County Libraries
 Beginning this October, LA County's Department of Public Health (DPH) and LA County Library will be offering free flu vaccines to those 6 months of age & older at select Library locations across the County. Flu shot clinic dates & locations for October & November 2020 are being finalized and will be announced here, once available. Health insurance will not be a requirement.
If you're thinking of getting a flu vaccine, LA County recommends calling your regular health care provider to see what other shots you may need. If you don’t have a regular provider, dial 2-1-1 (the LA County Information Line) or visit publichealth.lacounty.gov for a list of no cost or low-cost vaccine providers. Stay tuned for updates!
COVID-19 Testing is Available
 If you think you may be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, call your primary care provider to schedule a COVID-19 test. COVID-19 symptoms include:
fever, cough, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and/or new loss of taste or smell.
Wherever possible, you should receive testing in consultation with your healthcare provider to ensure continuity of care & optimal follow-up. If you do not have insurance & need help connecting to a healthcare provider, dial 2-1-1.
To check availability or make an appointment, visit covid19.lacounty.gov/testing.
COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certification Program
 LA County is helping train businesses on the implementation of COVID-19 safety protocols through a no-cost online training course called the COVID-19 Safety Compliance Certification Program (CSCCP). Once completed, business owners receive a certificate, and window seal to display on their storefront, which can reassure employees and customers alike that the business is following COVID-19 infection control and physical distancing requirements.
If you have not yet completed the CSCCP course or want to learn more about it, visit publichealth.lacounty.gov/eh/covid19cert.htm. Help support your employees, customers, and community while on the Road to Recovery.
Great Plates Delivered
 Great Plates Delivered has been extended through October 9th. LA County's meal assistance program offers eligible seniors with three (3) home-delivered meals a day. Seniors over 65, seniors 60-64 years of age who have been diagnosed or exposed to COVID-19 or those at high-risk for COVID-19 may qualify. When you help a senior connect to Great Plates Delivered, you're also helping your local restaurant, hospitality and transportation community get back to work.
