This underscores the need for Californians to remain vigilant and protect themselves and their communities by getting vaccinated and boosted. "Vaccines continue to offer strong protection against COVID-19, including this variant. This is why the FDA has authorized a second booster dose for those in our most vulnerable categories, including people aged 50 and older.
