Please be patient as the COVID-19 vaccine is rolled out to the public. Vaccine distribution for Signal Hill residents is currently being managed by the L.A. County Department of Public Health. Vaccine doses are in extremely limited supply, therefore appointments for eligible groups are also very limited. The vaccine is being offered to groups in phases. Currently, the following groups are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in L.A. County:

Right now, residents 65 and older who are not in any other eligible group should visit VaccinateLACounty.com to make an appointment and get more information. This is the best way to find out when appointments become available and where you can get vaccinated. We also strongly encourage you to sign up for the LACDPH Vaccine E-Newsletter for updates on this evolving vaccination effort. Those without Internet access can call 833-540-0473 daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. to schedule appointments. However, we suggest using the website whenever possible to avoid long wait times on the phone. You may also communicate with your health care provider for information about COVID-19 vaccinations and how to receive one through your provider.

Officials are asking all groups to be patient, as appointments are extremely limited and fill up quickly. To find out when it's your turn to get vaccinated, you can visit MyTurn.ca.gov. If it isn't your turn yet, you can register to be notified when you become eligible.

If anyone offers you the vaccine in exchange for payment, or offers you a chance to "jump the line", this is a scam. The vaccine is free to all Californians, and you will never be asked to pay. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccine scams here (PDF).

Your mask or face covering should fit snugly over the nose and mouth and under the chin, with no gaps around the sides. Masks with one-way valves should not be used, and face shields alone are not an appropriate substitute for a mask. Note that gaiters and bandanna-type masks may not offer the same protection as a traditional mask. Learn more about masks from the CDC.
