CDPH Warns of Summer COVID Rise, Urges Vaccination and Prevention

CDPH says COVID-19 activity is rising this summer and fall and urges Californians aged 6 months and older to get vaccinated, with emphasis on protecting high‑risk groups. The 2025‑2026 vaccine should be received now, with healthcare providers continuing access as the 2026‑2027 vaccine becomes available. Vaccines are covered by most insurance, and scheduling can be done via MyTurn or local providers. In addition to vaccination, CDPH offers prevention steps: stay home if sick, wear a quality mask (N95/KN95), wash hands, cover coughs, and improve indoor ventilation to reduce spread.
