The Marin County COVID-19 Status Update is published weekdays and as needed to share important news and resources related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to keep the local economy running. We remain here for you.  

Be Wary of Counterfeit or Unregulated COVID-19 Treatments 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is sending out a warning to consumers to be wary of companies marketing unregulated drugs as a treatment for COVID-19. Drugs that have circumvented regulatory safeguards may be contaminated, counterfeit, contain varying amounts of active ingredients or contain different ingredients altogether.  Consumers can visit BeSafeRx to learn about how to safely buy medicine online. Consumers concerned about COVID-19 should consult with their health care provider. 

Are Booster Shots Needed Right Now?  

If you’ve been following local media, then you’ve likely heard a lot of conversation around the concept of COVID-19 booster shots and whether they will be needed or available in the near future.  

At this time, Marin County Public Health is not offering or recommending booster shots. The decision on whether COVID-19 vaccine boosters will be needed will be based on the data we’re collecting, including the behavior of variants in breakthrough infections and overall breakthrough case rates.  We invite you to follow COVID-19 variant activity on our new variant dashboard and follow future issues of the status update for ongoing information.
