The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is published weekly and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic response. We remain here for you.
Second Bivalent Booster May Come Soon
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may soon authorize a second bivalent COVID vaccine boosters for people who are at least 65 years old or have weakened immune systems, and who are at least 4 months after the first bivalent booster. Marin Public Health will provide updates regarding local availability if and when final federal authorization occurs.
Marin COVID Levels: Cautious Optimism
Marin wastewater samples indicate virus transmission rates are generally declining, while the XBB variant has emerged as the locally dominant strain. This may mean an XBB-fueled surge is less likely over the coming weeks. Still, residents should stay aware of local COVID levels by monitoring Marin County COVID-19 Surveillance regularly.
COVID During Pregnancy Affects Infant Health
A recent study of 150 babies born to women who had COVID-19 during pregnancy found a link with infant obesity and other health problems. This highlights concerns that COVID-19 infection carries a wide range of effects that are still being described. Vaccination remains the most effective tool for preventing adverse outcomes for all groups.
Learn Easy Life Saving Skills
Marin County was recently recognized nationally for long life expectancy. One ingredient to longevity is living in a supportive community. Marin Public Health is offering residents easy lifesaving tools in a 90-minute training. The training is a combination of PowerPoint lecture, short videos, and hands-on practice with mannequins, tourniquets, and a trainer AED. Sign up today!
