In Case You Missed It
Get Vaccinated in the Comfort of your Home
 With recent decisions to end federal, state and local emergency orders related to COVID-19, Los Angeles County residents are reminded to continue taking sensible steps to protect themselves and others against severe illness and help keep hospitalization and death rates low. During this new phase, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is committed to ensuring easy access to free lifesaving preventative services, including testing, vaccinations and boosters, and treatment.
One of the most effective ways to prevent severe illness is to get the updated bivalent booster, which has been shown to offer boosted individuals increased protection against hospitalizations and deaths when compared to individuals who were vaccinated but had not received the updated booster.
If you or a loved one have difficulty leaving the home to get vaccinated against COVID-19, you can request in-home vaccination by calling the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Vaccine Call Center at 833-540-0473.
Residents can also fill out the online request form (multiple language options available) or visit ph.lacounty.gov/vaxathome or for more information. All doses are available for eligible individuals ages 6 months and older at no cost. The Bivalent COVID-19 booster is also available for eligible individuals. Other family members or caregivers can be vaccinated during the same visit.

Out and About
MVA Honors Lifetime of Service
1995, U.S. Presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields.
MVA will honor WWII Army veteran Bea Abrams Cohen (perhaps the oldest living veteran in this area who passed away at 105) at “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories,” an event focusing on the philanthropic efforts of Ms. Cohen on Saturday, March 18, 2023, at Bob Hope Patriotic Hall. We also honor Ms. Cohen by dedicating a resource room at Patriotic Hall, the first room named after a women veteran within the facility.
The event is open to the public. To register, contact [email protected] or scan the QR code on the flyer above.
