The State of California has detailed information about California’s vaccine program on their website. 

COVID-19 vaccines are meant to prevent you from getting COVID-19 and from spreading the virus to others. The ability of COVID-19 vaccines to protect us from transmitting it to others is constantly changing due to the new Delta variant.

CDHA encourages you to continue to take all infection control precautions as recommended by state and national public health agencies regardless if you have been vaccinated.
