Getting vaccinated is still the #1 thing you can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep you and your family members healthy. It is critical that unvaccinated and partially vaccinated people complete the vaccination process to reduce the risks of COVID-19 and its severe outcomes. Nearly all the cases of severe disease, hospitalization, and death continue to occur among those not yet vaccinated at all.
