The figure is a graphic with advice on protecting yourself and others from severe illness with COVID-19. People with weakened immune systems should take EVUSHELD, if prescribed, to prevent COVID-19 before exposure. People at high risk for severe illness should find out where they can get treatment or prevention medication on CDC’s website. And everyone should get recommended vaccines and boosters, improve ventilation, get tested if you have symptoms or have been exposed, wear a mask when recommended, and stay home when you’re sick or test positive.
