Consistent Key Messages

  • The Vaccines are Safe and Effective.

  • COVID-19 Vaccines are Available to All Californians for Free.

  • California is Continuing to Ramp Up Vaccination Efforts as Supply Increases.

  • Equity is the North Star for California’s Vaccine Program.
The Janssen Vaccine by Johnson & Johnson Has Arrived.
The addition of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is another step in our journey. It adds a third safe and effective vaccine against COVID, and all three provide excellent protection against severe illness and death. It’s also much easier to handle, requiring common refrigeration instead of super cold freezers. This will help us get vaccines to the areas hardest to reach, including rural areas, community clinics and local physician offices and pharmacies.
My Turn is where Californians can find out if you are eligible for
COVID-19 vaccination, schedule appointments, and sign up for notifications.
California introduced the statewide program to answer two simple questions: Is it My Turn? If it isn’t my turn now, can you notify me of when it is My Turn? As part of the state’s efforts to equitably and efficiently distribute vaccinations, the website is available in English, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Korean and Arabic. Those without internet or email access can call the COVID-19 Hotline at 1-833-422-4255 (833-4CA-4ALL) to assist with My Turn registration, which includes an extensive language support center with the ability to add a third party translator for another 250+ languages.
What To Know After You’ve Been Vaccinated.
Everyone, including those who have been vaccinated, should keep wearing masks, washing their hands and practicing social distance in public until we bring an end to the pandemic. As more Californians get vaccinated, we will learn if the COVID-19 vaccine can stop the spread of the virus to others. To protect your loved ones who have not yet been vaccinated, it is important to continue following basic safety precautions because the pandemic is not over yet. It is important for all Californians to follow the safety basics:

▪ Wear a mask whenever outside your homes.
▪ Wash your hands frequently.
▪ Watch your distance.
▪ When it’s your turn, get vaccinated.

There can be minor side effects after vaccination, including a sore arm, aches, fatigue or fever, but these are not harmful. As with any other vaccine, medical experts remind us that mild symptoms are normal and are a sign that the body is building immunity. Not everyone may experience side effects; either way, the vaccines have proven to be effective for all of us.
