Getting Vaccinated
If you don’t have access to the internet, you may call the number listed below and follow the prompts to access the COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling Call Center to check your eligibility and schedule your appointment.
- Pfizer & Moderna are each a two-dose series so when you schedule, you will be given an appointment for your first dose and your second dose. Johnson & Johnson is a one-dose vaccine.
- If you scheduled yourself in My Turn, you can reschedule or cancel your appointment by accessing your My Turn account at https://myturn.ca.gov/
- If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 you must wait to get vaccinated until you are out of your isolation period and you have no symptoms.
- There is no charge to receive the vaccine at our clinics and we will not bill insurance. You will be required to show a photo ID at your appointment.
- In order to avoid having wasted doses it is best if you get your first and second dose from the same provider.

Did you have any reactions after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination? If so, PLEASE report it. You can contact your healthcare provider or self-report it to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), which is available online. VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning it relies on individuals to send in reports of their experiences. Anyone can submit a report to VAERS, including parents and patients.
