How We Distribute Vaccines
At Stanford Health Care, we are required to follow guidelines from the state to determine vaccine priority. We are in daily contact with the state and county to request an increase in our vaccine supply, and we expect the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will approve additional vaccines from other drug companies for emergency use soon.
We are optimistic that the supply of vaccines will improve in the coming months. When we receive more vaccine, we will quickly offer the opportunity for more of our patients to get vaccinated.
Other Options for Vaccination
Many Stanford Health Care patients may have access to vaccine through resources beyond those offered by Stanford Health Care. We encourage you to get vaccinated where convenient and in the most safe and timely manner possible. We will continue to update you as more vaccines are received and made available for distribution and will continue to partner with our local county health authorities to reach individuals who do not have access to primary care providers.
Please continue to visit this page for updates.

We will continue to update you as more vaccines are received and made available for distribution, and will continue to partner with our local county health authorities to reach individuals who do not have access to primary care providers.
FAQ
If the vaccination is free, why do I need to provide insurance?
The actual vaccination purchased and distributed by government agencies is free of charge. However, there is a cost to administer the vaccination. This cost will be billed and paid by your insurance or government program. There’s no out-of-pocket cost to you to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
FAQ
My Medicare or Medi-Cal is through an HMO program. Why do I need to provide my Medicare number (MBI) or Medi-Cal number (BIC)?
Medicare and Medi-Cal have provided guidance that the vaccine administration should be billed directly to the government program instead of the HMO to simplify the administration and tracking. We require the correct member ID number to properly bill/report to the government program. There’s no out-of-pocket cost to you to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
