Get tested immediately before travel, upon return, and again 3-5 days later.
- Have everyone ages 5+ get their COVID vaccine.
- Have everyone ages 16+ get their COVID booster.
- Wear a mask indoors and in crowded settings. Wearing medical grade masks and adjusting masks so they fit tightly are important.
- Keep group gatherings small in both size and duration. Gather only with close family units.
- Outside gatherings are safer than indoor gatherings.
- Be cautious around elderly or immunocompromised individuals and consider COVID-19 testing before such interactions.
Parents of very young children and those who have not been vaccinated should make sure to take all advised precautions. Avoid large gatherings. Always wear mask in indoor public settings and in crowded outdoor settings (unless under age 2).
You should also get vaccinated if you have not done so, and get your booster shot if you are eligible.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, free, and widely available to everyone 5 and older. Almost 77% of eligible Santa Clara County residents, including children ages 5-11, have been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. We remain a national leader in vaccination rates.
However, there are still thousands of eligible Santa Clara County residents who have not gotten vaccinated.
All County Health System mass vaccination sites and all general community-based mobile sites are vaccinating anyone ages 5 and older. Children between 5 and 17-years old need to provide a signed consent form from a parent or legal guardian.
