Protect Yourself Against Covid-19 This Season

As we approach the upcoming chilly months, we are also gearing up for illness season. Take the time to prepare to protect you and your family against Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses by getting your up-to-date vaccines and keeping tests on hand.

The Ohio Department of Health reminds us that a 2024-2025 Covid-19 vaccine is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older, but especially those who are 65+, at high risk for severe illness and/or living in a long-term care facility. Learn more about vaccine recommendations here.

In addition, the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services offers four, free at-home Covid-19 tests to every U.S. household to help protect yourself and others against illness.
