COVID-19 Vaccines

As of May 2022, all Californians aged 5 or over are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and are recommended for a booster, if it has been at least 5 months since their primary vaccine series. To make an appointment to get the vaccine, visit https://myturn.ca.gov/ or https://vaccinefinder.org/ or your local health department website to find a provider and make an appointment.

Worried About Breakthrough COVID Cases? Here's What To Know

More on why vaccination is safe and important:

• Sadly, Jan. 21, 2021 was the day when the COVID death toll in the U.S. reached, and then exceeded, the 405,399 Americans who died in World War II.
• By May 2022, the U.S. death toll has topped 1 million since the start of the pandemic.
• Even though there have been many "breakthrough" cases, with vaccinated people contracting COVID-19, a breakthrough infection is less likely to have serious illness with COVID-19 than those who are unvaccinated. 
• Over 220 million Americans and 28 million Californians are fully vaccinated. See the CDC COVID data tracker and CDPH Statewide vaccination data for latest data.
