Vaccines Available

COVID-19 Vaccines

As of Monday, Sept. 11, 2023, the bivalent mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been deauthorized and new monovalent vaccine will be available soon. These new vaccines are designed to protect against the current Omicron subvariants. 

The vaccines have also transitioned to the commercial market which means they will no longer be purchased by the federal government and provided free of charge to all U.S. residents. Instead, they will be available through commercial insurance, Medicaid, including California’s Medi-Cal program, as well as Medicare, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. COVID-19 vaccines should be available through local pharmacies or your usual healthcare provider. 

We recommend that parents check with their child's primary care provider first for COVID-19 vaccines. Open Door - Del Norte Community Health Center, United Indian Health Services (UIHS), and Sutter Coast Community Clinic all offer COVID-19 vaccines for their patients. 

Available Adult Vaccines 

Available Child Vaccines - Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program 

  •    Tdap - Screening Checklist - FREE if eligible
  •     COVID-19 - Currently in transition 

  • Must be under 19 years old AND one of the following:
  • On Medi-Cal
  • Uninsured
  • American Indian or Alaska native

If your child has a primary care provider, your child should see their primary care provider for immunizations. If your child does not have a primary care provider they see regularly, please make an appointment to speak with our Immunization Coordinator who can connect you with a provider.
