Getting the vaccine from other providers

Looking for an appointment with Kaiser Permanente or Sutter Health?
Both hospitals said, for now, the demand for vaccinations will likely exceed supply. They'll both be following the state's guidelines for eligibility, meaning county residents over 16 won't be eligible until April 15.
Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health are both working to notify eligible patients within. Updates on vaccine availability at Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health facilities can be found on their respective websites.
People who are not Kaiser Permanente's members can call (866) 454-8855 to schedule an appointment.
Who’s eligible?
As of April 1, Yolo County is vaccinating people 50 years or older regardless of their occupation or ability. People who are 16 or older who have medical conditions, disabilities, illness, living spaces, or work environments are considered high risk can also get the COVID-19 vaccine.
People older than 16 years old will have to wait until after April 15 to be eligible if they don’t meet certain factors.
According to the California Department of Public Health, regardless of a person's immigration status or insurance coverage, they will be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine for free.
You can find more information on eligibility on the state's COVID-19 website.
What vaccine is available?
Yolo County has been getting shipments of the Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
All vaccines are considered safe and effective and meet the standards set by the FDA. But only the Pfizer vaccine is approved for people aged 16 and 17.
