Immunization
Alexandria (Alex) Jones, Assistant Health Commissioner
- It's not too late to be vaccinated against COVID!
- CDC’s Bridge Access Program provides free COVID-19 vaccines to adults without health insurance and adults whose insurance does not cover all COVID-19 vaccine costs.
- This program will end in August 2024.
- At this time we’re not sure if COVID vaccine will be available through the 317 uninsured adult vaccination program.
- FCPH purchased a mobile unit that will be in our community this summer providing public health education and services!
- Please be on the lookout for our mobile unit to begin rolling out in July 2024.

Kara Keller, Infectious Disease Program Epidemiologist
- Epidemiology Reports are published on the last Friday of the month.
- The report has been updated to reflect monthly community levels.
