IMPORTANT: New COVID-19 Vaccine Information

Last week, the West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA) issued immunization recommendations for the 2025-2026 respiratory virus season which includes new information about COVID-19 vaccines. You can find more information from their  Frequently Asked Questions.

The most important thing you should know is that COVID-19 vaccines are available to anyone 6 months or older who wants them! WCHA specifically recommends that the following people at increased risk for severe disease get an updated COVID vaccine:

• Children between 6–23 months of age.
• Adults 65 years and older.
• Anyone over 6 months who is at high risk of severe disease because they have underlying medical conditions.
• Anyone who is planning for pregnancy, pregnant, postpartum, or lactating
• People with exposure to others who are at high risk.
