Protect Yourself from Respiratory Viruses

June 5, 2025

     Please review the strategies below for staying healthy. COVID-19 typically circulates during the summer months, so it’s not too late to get vaccinated!

  • COVID-19 poses the greatest risk for severe disease to those over 65 years of age and persons with certain health issues, including pregnancy.  But,  anyone who gets COVID-19 can develop long COVID.   
    • CDC guidance for COVID-19 vaccination can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/covid/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html 
    • We encourage everyone to stay up-to-date on vaccination, stay home and test for COVID-19 when sick, and seek treatment if testing positive. Information on antigen and PCR testing can be found here. 
    • For added protection, consider masking in any indoor public setting, especially if  you are at higher risk for severe disease  (over 65 years of age and/or persons with certain health conditions).  Alameda County continues to align with state COVID-19 masking guidance.

  • One dose of RSV vaccine is now recommended for all adults ages 75 and older and adults 60-74 with certain medical conditions. Also, persons who are between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy during September through January are recommended to get a dose to protect their baby from RSV disease. One dose of RSV antibodies is also available for certain babies/toddlers under 19 months of age. Older adults, babies/toddlers, and persons with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk for severe RSV disease.

  • If you have insurance, including Medi-Cal, please contact your healthcare provider or pharmacy about vaccinations.  Starting in October, ACPHD will offer flu and COVID-19 vaccines to persons without insurance and whose insurance does not provide cost-free coverage. Visit our vaccine page to find a location near you.
