CDC recommends new COVID-19 vaccine

Published on September 18, 2023

The CDC and San Mateo County Health Officials have recommended a new COVID-19 booster for everyone six months of age. The new booster is effective and safe. It is expected to protect against severe disease and death from the current variants circulating around the country. The updated vaccine will be available in the coming days. As travel and events increase with the holiday season approaching, the County urges our community to take precautions to mitigate the severity and spread of illness and keep everyone healthy and safe.
