Californians Can Arrange an In-Home Vaccination or Transportation to a Vaccine Site!

California residents can now request in-home vaccinations and/or transit assistance to get vaccinated by registering at MyTurn.‍ca.‍gov or by calling the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) COVID-19 Call Center at 1-833-422-4255. Currently, CDPH does not require medical documentation to request in-home vaccination. No one will ask you about your immigration status. Transportation can be requested for next day appointments. Unfortunately, transportation for same-day appointments is not available.

Here’s how you can arrange an in-home vaccination or transportation to a vaccine site:

1. Call the CDPH COVID-19 Call Center at 1-833-422-4255
If you need transportation, the CDPH Call Center:

• Can assist with booking medical transportation for individuals who need specialized assistance to get to their vaccine appointments;
• Can schedule and arrange non-medical transportation for any California resident who needs assistance getting to their vaccine appointments.
• If you need an in-home vaccination, the CDPH Call Center will confirm the need for in-home vaccination and gather relevant information (address, number of people in the household needing vaccinations, etc.) and share it with your Local Health Jurisdiction (the agency that provides public health services in your city or county).

Your Local Health Jurisdiction will create a “Walk-in” clinic appointment for you using the My Turn portal.
If necessary, your participating local health agency will then request ambulance assistance through the Medical and Health Operational Area Coordinator and the Emergency Medical Services Authority to coordinate and administer the vaccination(s) to you at your home.

2. Register Online Using MyTurn.ca.gov
Below is a step-by-step guide using screenshots from the My Turn website,
STEP ONE: Click the “Start Here” button to fill out the required questionnaire. 
STEP TWO:  After submitting the appropriate answers for your age, and the county you live and work in, click “yes” at the prompt that reads, “I need help with transportation to the vaccine clinic, or I need a home appointment because I am unable to leave home due to limited mobility or frail health. Note: Someone will call you to help schedule transportation or home appointment” as shown in the screenshot below.
STEP THREE: The next screenshot below asks, “Need help traveling to a COVID-19 vaccine clinic or arranging a home appointment? Help is available at My Turn for people who require assistance. We can assist in scheduling an appointment for the vaccine and arranging transportation to a clinic near you. Or we will help schedule an at-home vaccination due to health or mobility issues. Simply check the box below, enter the requested information and click ‘Register.’ Someone will call you to schedule your vaccine.”
Click on the box that reads, “I would like to register for updates or receive a call to help arrange a home/travel appointment.” Enter the requested information and click “Register” to ask for travel assistance to a Covid-19 vaccine clinic or to arrange a home appointment.
STEP FOUR: After you register a representative from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) will call you to talk about transportation or in-home vaccination, and to schedule a date and time for you to receive your vaccine.
