COVID-19 Vaccines

COVID-19 vaccines are still available through our facility clinics for youth in OYA facilities who want them.

For our youth in the community, we are encouraging them to talk with their health care provider if they want the vaccine.

The vaccine is not mandatory for our youth. However, all state employees, including those who work at OYA, are required to be vaccinated by Oct. 18.
