COVID-19 Information

Update: September 15, 2023

The way COVID-19 vaccines are paid for is changing

On September 11, the FDA authorized a new Fall COVID-19 Vaccine. Most adults and children will soon have access to the COVID-19 vaccine at no cost through their insurance. State programs for the uninsured or under-insured are coming soon. Please contact your health care provider for more information. Health care providers are the first place to go for COVID-19 and flu health care.

Ventura County Public Health (VCPH) urges everyone ages 6 months and older to receive a new COVID-19 vaccine, aligning with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations. When the FDA authorized the updated Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, it also discontinued authorization for the use of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 bivalent vaccines.

VCPH is committed to ensuring low-barrier access to new COVID-19 vaccines and will continue to partner with community organizations in priority neighborhoods to offer information and vaccines. VCPH will offer vaccinations to individuals without health insurance or who face barriers to access vaccination through state programs, which are coming soon.
