All in Against COVID
Don’t FLiRT with COVID
While the world has largely returned to normal, being “All In” against COVID-19 continues to evolve. On May 11, 2023, the Biden Administration officially ended the federal COVID-19 public health emergency, and many government-supported programs, like free COVID testing and vaccines, have concluded.
Despite these changes, access to COVID-19 vaccines remains essential, especially for uninsured individuals or those whose insurance doesn’t cover the full cost. Thankfully, the CDC has developed the Bridge Access Program, offering free vaccines to adults in need.
Explore your vaccine options, find a provider, and learn how to enroll today. Every American deserves access to immunization, ensuring our community stays safe and healthy.

Take Control of Your Health
Stay Up-to-Date with Vaccines
COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be a game-changer, saving millions of lives. They remain the most effective and safest way to protect yourself and others from severe illness.
Keep Practicing Good Hygiene
Simple actions like washing your hands for at least 30 seconds can significantly reduce the spread of viruses. Maintaining these habits year-round helps keep you and those around you healthier.
Use Masks Wisely
While it’s refreshing to take a break from wearing masks, they are still valuable in high-risk situations. Consider wearing a mask in crowded places, on long flights, at large gatherings, or in healthcare settings. Also, wear a mask around vulnerable individuals, including those who are immunocompromised or elderly.
Get Tested If You’re Unwell
Feeling sick? It’s easy to assume it’s just a cold or allergies, but the only way to be sure is to get tested for COVID-19. Testing is widely accessible and free. If you’re experiencing symptoms, don’t hesitate—get tested today.
How to Get My Child Vaccinated?
It is recommended that everyone 6 months and older receive an annual flu and COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, and helps protect children from 6 months to 17 years.
