Health officials recommend everyone ages 12 and up become vaccinated against COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states the vaccine is safe and effective at preventing COVID-19 disease, especially severe illness, hospitalization, and death. This is especially important as students and staff head back to school. The St. Louis County Department of Public Health (DPH) is offering no-cost immunizations for children aged 3 to 18 and free COVID-19 vaccinations for ages 12 and up. Find out more information.
