I’ve Had COVID-19, Do I Need To Be Vaccinated?

With the recent surge of COVID-19 cases and the push for vaccination, some that have had COVID-19 in the past are questioning if they need to be vaccinated.  Ann Burchette from the Livingston County Health Center says they are encouraging those that have recovered from a previous case of COVID-19 to received the vaccine.

Burchette says reinfection is possible.

She says they are also recommending everyone take the precaution of social distancing, wearing a mask when in public and frequent hand washing.

If you have questions or concerns, contact the Livingston County Health Center at 646-5506.  Vaccinations are available Tuesdays and Thursdays on a walk-in basis and available at area pharmacies.
