My office continues to update our COVID-19 resource page so you can stay up-to-date on public health guidance and any
government resources that are available. Please check back for updated information.
COVID-19 Vaccines
As of September 12, 2023, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone
6 months and older get an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
- Effectiveness: People who are up to date on their vaccines and boosters have a lower
risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 than people who are
unvaccinated or who have not received updated booster shots. Vaccination also reduces your chance of suffering
possible long-term effects of COVID-19.
- Safety: COVID-19 vaccines have undergone—and continue to undergo—the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S.
history. Evidence demonstrates that they are safe and effective. Side
effects within 7 days of vaccination are common but mostly mild.
