Updated on 08/18/21
Latest Information
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved booster doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for individuals aged 65+, health care workers, and high-risk individuals. As soon as the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) provide guidance on administration of boosters doses to these groups, we will update this site with availability information.
Third vaccine dose for immunocompromised individuals
- CDC now recommends that people whose immune systems are compromised moderately to severely should receive a 3rd dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
- We encourage patients who are unsure if they meet these criteria to speak with their healthcare provider.
- Stanford Health Care is now scheduling appointments for our established patients who are immunocompromised.
Please continue to check back here for the latest developments.

FAQ
Which COVID-19 vaccines does Stanford Health Care offer?
Stanford Health Care offers the three vaccines currently approved for use in the United States: Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen.
FAQ
How many injections are required to complete the COVID-19 vaccine?
Those who choose to receive a mRNA vaccine like Pfizer or Moderna should expect a total of two injections. Two doses must be given to achieve full efficacy. The second dose will be scheduled at the time when the first dose is given. If a second dose is delayed for any reason, it should still be received as close as possible to the recommended date regardless of how late. The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine only requires one dose for full efficacy.
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.
You can also check myturn.ca.gov to see if there are other vaccination sites with available appointments.
End the pandemic.
Vaccines work.
Each of us has an important role to play in ending the COVID-19 pandemic. Get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you are eligible and able to do so. Once you are vaccinated, help stop the spread of infection to others by washing your hands, keeping your distance, and following local mask guidelines.
