PATH Vaccination Clinic at the UC Davis MIND Institute
Advice about COVID vaccines may vary across federal, state, and local agencies. While there is no consensus, one trusted source to consider is the California Department of Public Health website on COVID-19 Vaccines.
At UC Davis Health we estimate that we will have the updated COVID vaccines for the 2025-26 season in stock in October. We also expect to receive the updated 2025-26 flu vaccine around the same time.
