9/22/2023 - The CDC has recommended updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines for everyone (6 months and older) that can target the virus that's circulating now. The bivalent COVID-19 vaccines from earlier this year are no longer authorized or available in the United States. ICHS will announce when we have received our updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine supply. In the meantime ICHS locations are not offering walk-in COVID-19 vaccines.
We each have a responsibility to ensure that those around us are protected. We reduce COVID-19 transmission by being vaccinated and boosted, protecting ourselves, our loved ones, and our community.
Dr. Lakshmi Deepa Yerram, ICHS chief medical officer, emphasizes the importance of vaccinating our youngest children against COVID-19. She also advocates that everyone six months and older.
The available data continue to demonstrate that vaccines prevent the most serious outcomes of COVID-19, which are severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
