Orange County Health Officer Order Requires Flu Vaccination for Health Care Workers During the November 1 to April 30 Respiratory Virus Season, Issued September 28
Orange County, California — An order issued by Orange County Health Officer Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong requires all health care workers who provide care in Orange County to receive an annual influenza vaccine authorized for use in the United States for the current respiratory virus season. The order was issued on September 28, 2026, and defines the respiratory virus season as November 1 through April 30, inclusive of influenza season.
The order states that the optimal period for vaccination is October, ahead of the season, allowing at least two weeks to build immunity. Medical and religious exemptions apply, and the order notes that viral activity may begin before or extend beyond those dates.
The order was issued under the health officer's authority in California Health and Safety Code section 120175 and continues the county's annual requirement. It remains in effect until revised, rescinded, superseded or amended in writing by the County Health Officer.
The OC Health Care Agency published the full order through its health officer declarations, orders and recommendations page. This report covers only the contents of the order as published.
