Add an Extra Layer of Protection

In-person participants are encouraged to sign up for CA Notify as an added layer of protection for themselves and the community to receive alerts when they have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19.

If you are not fully vaccinated, or if you have not yet received a vaccine booster dose, please consider doing so. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that recent studies have shown that after getting vaccinated against COVID-19, protection against the virus and the ability to prevent infection with variants may decrease over time. Receiving a booster has been shown to increase immune response, which should give individuals improved protection against getting infected with COVID-19, including variants.
