The Connecticut Department of Health is issuing interim COVID-19 immunization guidance in preparation for the 2025–2026 respiratory virus season.
Key Points and Recommendations:
- Vaccination against COVID-19 remains the most effective defense to prevent severe COVID-19 disease outcomes.
- We urge providers to discuss vaccination with patients and parents/guardians and to encourage COVID-19 vaccine based on risk and shared clinical decision making – immunizations are particularly important for persons at greater risk of severe disease.
Please see the Interim 2025-2026 COVID-19 Vaccine Guidance for details.
