COVID-19 Vaccine Safety
Before any vaccine can be authorized or approved for use, robust and well-designed clinical trials must show that it is safe and effective. Experts continue to work to ensure the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.
CDC and CDPH recommend receiving the mRNA vaccines. Johnson and Johnson is still available for individuals who prefer it or cannot receive the mRNA vaccines.
Additional Vaccine Information
COVID-19 vaccines are just one of many tools that can help keep our community safe. Even after receiving a vaccine, members of the community should continue to mask up, physically distance, and follow all recommendations until we can ensure everyone is safe from the impact of COVID19.
