Coronavirus/COVID-19

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. It can be very dangerous and spreads quickly. COVID-19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel like a cold, the flu or pneumonia. Most people with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but some become severely ill. 

COVID-19 Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at protecting people from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and dying. As with other diseases, you are protected best from COVID-19 when you stay up to date with the recommended vaccines, including recommended boosters.

In September 2023, the U.S Food and Drug Administration approved updated Covid-19 vaccines.  Family Health Medical Services strongly recommends the 2023-2024 seasonal Covid-19 vaccine for all of our patients.
