COVID-19 Travel Tips
Planning to travel? Take a look at our tip sheet below to do your part in making sure the virus doesn’t become an unwanted travel companion.
Visit our Communications Toolkit to see this flyer in English and Spanish, and to find additional resources and information provided for your convenience.
Limited Walk-Ins Available
Are you having trouble finding an open appointment to receive a booster? We are grateful to our partner Safeway for adding additional appointments to the Northgate Mall vaccination clinic. Limited walk-ins are available at the Northgate clinic on Wednesday and Thursday this week and next week. For clinic location and hours, visit our Vaccine Finder page.
Testing Tuesday
Testing remains one of the most important tools in our COVID-19 prevention toolkit, especially as we move indoors during colder weather and celebrate the holidays. Getting tested before and after travel and holiday gatherings helps identify the virus and limit its ability to spread in our community. This is an important step we can all take to protect each other and keep our loved ones safe.
If you’re symptomatic, get tested as soon as possible, even if you’re fully vaccinated.
