In addition to the LA County operated sites, there are pharmacies that have registered to provide vaccinations. Vaccine allocations are also going to large healthcare provider organizations like Kaiser Permanente and Providence Health and Services. You may call your healthcare provider, who may refer you to a preferred location.

Vaccinations are free and available to all regardless of immigration status or insurance coverage. If you do have insurance, coverage information may be requested as part of the appointment scheduling process.

TYPES OF VACCINES:

LA County and registered pharmacies provide either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine. Both have been approved for their safety and efficacy. Please check the LA County Department of Public Health website for more information.
