While a growing body of evidence suggests Omicron can still infect and transmit among the fully vaccinated — and even boosted — it also suggests vaccination and boosting for those eligible significantly reduces risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death. Vaccines are free and appointments can be made at local pharmacies, or by visiting www.vaccines.gov. Humboldt County Public Health also has the following clinics scheduled for the coming days:
