The Central Shenandoah Health District is offering the 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine at its five health departments.

The 2023-24 formula has been approved for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. The formula includes a monovalent (single) component that corresponds to the omicron variant XBB 1.5 of  SARS-CoV-2.

According to the FDA, an updated COVID-19 vaccine will help give you the best protection against COVID-19.

The vaccine is recommended by the CDC for everyone ages 6 months and older.

Appointments are required to get the vaccine at health departments.
