* The state?s telehealth test-to-treat program helps provide free, easy access to care and treatments (COVID-19 medications) and medication delivery that reduce the risk of serious illness or hospitalization.
* The program is free, so there is no cost for the patient.
* Don?t delay. COVID-19 medications need to be started in the first 5 days of symptoms.

Find a COVID-19 vaccine location

It is important to stay up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines for the best protection. COVID-19 vaccine is available at clinics and pharmacies across the state. The Find Vaccine Locations search tool can help you find a location near you. It also allows you to search for locations based on the specific vaccine you need, such as an updated (bivalent) booster, or if you need certain accommodations. People can also reach out to their regular health care provider to ask about getting vaccinated.

COVID-19 booster

Everyone age 6 months and older should get an updated (bivalent) booster when they are due! Ask your or your child's doctor about which COVID-19 vaccine doses you need to be up to date.

More about booster shots:


* COVID-19 vaccines continue to work very well at reducing the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death, but data suggest that protection against COVID-19 infection becomes less over time.
* A booster shot is given when protection from the original vaccination begins to decrease. This additional dose of vaccine can help get protection back up to a higher level.
* The updated (bivalent) boosters also help protect against newer versions (variants) of the COVID-19 virus that are currently spreading. For more information on the bivalent booster visit:?Why You Should Get an Updated (Bivalent) Booster (PDF) [ [link removed] ].

CDC recommends 1 updated (bivalent) COVID-19 vaccine dose for everyone age 6 months and older when eligible. Visit website listed for more information________________________________________________________________________
