Ventura County Public Health recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older have access to and the choice to receive COVID-19 vaccines, aligning with the California Department of Public Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommendations.
Who is Eligible for a COVID-19 Vaccine?
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
CDPH recommends everyone ages 6 months and older have access and the choice to receive COVID-19 vaccines, with an emphasis on protecting higher risk individuals, such as infants and toddlers, pregnant people, and others with risks for serious disease.
The CDPH recommendations are based on data and focus on protecting people who are most at risk, including:
- Older adults, especially those 65 and older
- People with certain chronic or medical conditions such as heart disease or cancer
- People with weakened immune systems
- People who are pregnant or were recently pregnant
- People with disabilities
- People who are in a skilled nursing facility and other long term care facilities
- Children younger than 5 years, especially infants younger than 6 months
Some health conditions can make it more likely for someone to get very sick from COVID-19. CDPH strongly recommends the COVID-19 vaccine for people with these conditions.
CDPH’s COVID-19 Risk Factors List provide examples but isn’t meant to be a complete list.
