Why do we need a vaccine?
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 will be one of the best ways to protect yourself and everyone around you. If you are protected from getting COVID-19, you cannot pass the disease to others.
Because the supply of vaccine will be limited at first, doing other things to help stop the spread will be just as important as it is now. This means still wearing a facemask, staying at least 6 feet away from others, washing your hands a lot, and staying home if you are sick.
What else can I do now?
Continue to help slow the spread of COVID-19:
-
Wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose
-
Wash your hands often
-
Stay 6 feet away from other people
-
Stay home if you are sick
-
Avoid large gatherings
Vaccine Information
Having a safe and effective vaccine is the top priority. Approving vaccines as safe, and making sure they work, is up to several scientific groups at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and other groups look at available information about a vaccine and make informed decisions about the risks and benefits of using it.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued emergency use authorizations (EUA) for vaccines for the prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 16 years of age and older. The emergency use authorization allows the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to be distributed in the U.S. For more information about the EUA for the COVID vaccines, visit the CDC website.

Questions?
Take a look at our brief presentation about the COVID-19 Vaccine. If you have questions about vaccination that are not answered there or on this page, please submit your questions here.
The California Department of Public Health has convened a Drafting Guidelines Workgroup which is leveraging national prioritization frameworks and reviewing data regarding occupational exposure and COVID risk to prioritize sectors across phases and tiered population groups. Counties will follow these guidelines in administering vaccine.
