Thank you for helping us keep our community informed by sharing the updates we've compiled in these daily then weekly alerts for over two years! As you know, the pandemic is not over and booster doses are a key strategy to helping us get out ahead of a winter surge. We are calling on our community to help us share the important resources below at this critical moment in our recovery.

People in King County still have many questions about COVID boosters and vaccines for little ones. We now have videos available in a dozen languages

These videos explain:

• Why get a COVID booster?
