We are now able to schedule vaccination appointments through MyHealth for all individuals age 18 and older or you can drop in at any of our vaccination sites.

Individuals who are aged 16-17 can schedule their vaccination with Stanford Children’s Health.

Many Stanford Health Care patients may have access to vaccine through county 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.

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.

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.

Individuals are considered fully vaccinated:

• 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
• 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine

If it has been less than 2 weeks since your shot, or if you still need to get your second dose, you are NOT fully protected. Once you're fully vaccinated, it's important that you continue to take precautions and follow public health guidance. Visit the CDC for guidance for fully vaccinated people.
