Facts and the latest updates about COVID-19 vaccination

Effective October 6, 2022: Updated CDC guidance now allows for the removal of universal masking based on the level of community transmission. This means that masks are no longer required based on transmission rates. However, masking is still required at all times in the NICU and patient care area when entering the room of immunocompromised and COVID-19 patients.

Community transmission levels will be reviewed on a frequent basis and we will continue to keep you apprised of any changes.

Why get vaccinated?

Immunization helps save millions of lives every year. Whereas most medicines treat or cure diseases, vaccines can help prevent them by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection. When you receive a vaccine, your immune system responds.

Vaccines prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases, and help people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally, immunization currently prevents between 2 and 3 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles.

COVID-19 vaccines work with your immune system so your body will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed. Other steps, like covering your mouth and nose with a mask and staying at least six feet away from others, may help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others. Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following CDC’s recommendations to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from COVID-19.
