Vaccines Available Health officials with the County of Santa Clara are strongly recommending everyone get vaccinated this fall to protect themselves and others from circulating viruses. There are new options for RSV protection, and updated COVID vaccine, and this year’s flu shot now widely available in doctors’ offices and pharmacies. Find a clinic and schedule an appointment or drop in at these locations. The county is also relaunching a dashboard where the public can track common viruses, transmission and risk in the community. This can help people understand RSV and flu activity and take the appropriate steps to stay protected. |
