After Receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine
Enroll in CDC's V-safe After Vaccination Health Checker. V-safe is a free, smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide free, personalized health check-ins after you receive your vaccination. For a reminder to receive your second dose use VaxText. Text ENROLL to 1-833-VaxText (829-8398). You will then receive a text reminder for your second dose.
Once you are vaccinated, your vaccine will be entered into the State of California vaccination data base known as CAIR. The two COVID-19 vaccinations available now are both two-shot vaccines, with the second vaccine given 21-28 days after the first. If you are unable to get the second vaccine in this time period, the second vaccine can be given at a later time.

Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution Plan
The State of California is currently drafting guidelines for distributing COVID-19 vaccines, beginning with highest risk groups, including health care workers and residents in skilled nursing facilities and to other essential workers. The FCDPH will be partnering with health care providers to ensure the vaccine is available to everyone who is eligible to receive the vaccine, beginning with those at higher risk. If you want to receive the vaccine once it becomes available to the public, continue checking this webpage. The FCDPH has a separate website on the COVID-19 vaccine that is a source of information for health care providers. You can also consult with your medical provider to discuss when the COVID-19 vaccine might be available for you.
