To protect you, other patients and our staff, visitors with fever, chills, cough, runny nose, sore throat or body aches should not visit at this time as they put you and our other patients at higher risk of infection. Add California COVID notify to your smart phone.

Vaccine distribution: What you need to know

There are three COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use by the FDA: Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen. You can see a simple comparison here in English (PDF) or in Spanish (PDF). All three are effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infection. About 18 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have already been administered to Californians, meaning that about 30% of the state’s population has received at least one shot. Roughly 4.5 million doses have been administered in LA County alone. You can follow the state’s progress on this vaccination progress dashboard. Please note that due to limited vaccine supply allocated by the state’s administrator, Blue Shield, we are not currently sending out many invitations. We encourage all patient’s to check the state’s My Turn website or their local public health department.
