Covid-19 Updates
If Coconino County were to lapse into High level of hospitalizations, we would have to revert to some past restrictions like masking indoors in certain settings and other restrictions. Of course, we are hoping to avoid this and to remain healthy.
New updated COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone 6 months and older and are available now at most places you would normally go to get your vaccines.
The updated vaccines should work well against currently circulating variants of COVID-19, including all Omicron variants that are currently the most prevalent, like the Eris and Priola subvariants.
Havasupai Visitor Information
