Update on the COVID-19 vaccine
As of 1/18/21, Kaiser Permanente has limited vaccine supply for:
- Health care workers
- Long-term care patients and staff
- Emergency medical services
If you’re in one of these groups, go to kp.org/covidvaccine to schedule a vaccination appointment.
We are reaching out directly to those over age 75 — If you are age 75 or older, you don’t need to call or email us regarding COVID-19 vaccinations until we have contacted you first. We’ll let you know by letter or email when we can schedule you. Since supplies are low, it’ll take time to offer everyone an appointment. Thank you for your patience.

COVID-19 Testing Expanded
Testing plays a major role in fighting COVID-19 — for your health, the health of our communities, and to help safely reopen businesses, schools, and more. As an important part of Kaiser Permanente’s ongoing commitment to our members and communities, we have recently expanded our COVID-19 testing capacity.
