Alameda County Weekly Vaccine Update
The Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (HCSA) encourages Alameda County residents to get vaccinated with the first vaccine available to you.
Any of the COVID-19 vaccines will help protect your health and decrease your risk of developing severe complications due to COVID-19, including hospitalization and death. Getting vaccinated will help protect all of us from COVID-19 and it is crucial everyone is vaccinated as soon as a vaccine is available to you.
While our vaccine supplies remain limited, HCSA encourages residents to be patient for their turn to receive the vaccine. You can sign up to receive notifications for when it is your turn to be vaccinated with both the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) or the California Department of Health (CDPH):
- Register with ACPHD:

- Chinese Registration Form
- Register with CDPH:

MyTurn (website available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Korean, Arabic, and Vietnamese)
- Having trouble? Don't have an email address or mobile phone? Call the CA COVID-19 Hotline at 1-833-422-4255 (M-F, 8 AM-8 PM; Sa-Su, 8 AM-5 PM) for assistance. The hotline supports over 250 languages.
When there is enough vaccine to expand appointments, Alameda County will share that information widely and you will be notified when it is your turn to be vaccinated.
Please continue to be patient, the County will finish vaccinating the neighbors who are at most risk for severe illness that may result in hospitalization or death, or those who cannot work from home and are at most risk of exposure because they work directly with the public. It is the County's goal to vaccinate eligible County residents as fast as possible while also ensuring equitable access.
As you wait your turn to get the vaccine and even after you have received your vaccine, please continue to follow all COVID-19 safety precautions to reduce your risk of contracting the virus:
-
Get tested (CDPH’s When to Test and Re-Test video includes guidance on testing for COVID-19)
- Wear a mask that covers your nose and chin
- Ensure your mask fits snugly and air does not escape through the sides
- Practice social distancing (keep a minimum 6-feet of distance from people you do not live with)
- Keep socially distanced gatherings outdoors, limit to three households, and limit the length of the gathering
- Avoid indoor gatherings where circulation is poor and the risk for contracting COVID-19 drastically increases
