Updated COVID-19 Vaccine Availability (12/11/2024)

Most adults will have access to the updated COVID-19 vaccine at no cost through their insurance. Vaccine will be available in October through the California Bridge Access Program (BAP) for individuals 19 years and older who are without insurance or whose insurance does not cover the full cost of vaccine.  

The updated 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine is available.  It is recommended for all people 6 months and older.  It must be administered at least two months after the patient’s last COVID-19 vaccine.

Retail pharmacies are scheduling appointments now.  Vaccine brand may vary by pharmacy and location.  Not all primary care sites have vaccine available.  

The 2023-24 COVID-19 vaccine is no longer authorized and should not be administered.
