Vaccine Information

View the progress statewide on the State’s vaccine dashboard.

Starting May 13, all individuals 12 years of age and older are eligible to be vaccinated. Please note, only Pfizer is approved for use for ages 12-17.

For individuals 12-15 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must accompany the minor to a vaccination site, provide verification of identity and relationship, and give verbal consent for the minor to be vaccinated.

If a parent is unable to accompany them, minors 16 and older are permitted to have written consent or conduct a video call with Public Health Staff whereby the parent/legal guardian provides verification of identity and relationship, and gives verbal consent for the minor to be vaccinated. The consent form can be found at: Ventura County Department of Public Health Consent Form.

• Most of the County of Ventura vaccination sites are indoor sites and require some walking to get from the parking area into the vaccination site. Please plan accordingly based on any mobility limitations. The South Oxnard Clinic is currently the only outdoor site, which can accommodate individuals needing to remain in their vehicles if necessary.
• Only Service Animals as defined by ADA are allowed inside vaccination sites.
• Minors will require parental consent either in-person or through virtual verification at the time of the appointment.

Bring a form of documentation with your name on it. You do not need a government-issued ID to receive a vaccine. Undocumented individuals are eligible to receive a vaccine regardless of their immigration status. Examples of acceptable documentation include: student ID, library card, rental agreement, utility bill, a REAL ID, state driver’s license or identification card, passport, among others.  For minors 12-17, please have proof of birthdate in your documents (birth certificate, school portal information, passport, etc.)

• State of California’s Vax for the Win incentive program. The next 2 million Californians who start and complete their COVID-19 vaccination process starting May 27 will be eligible for a $50 incentive card and other cash prizes. Learn more at: https://covid19.ca.gov/vax-for-the-win/
• After receiving your first dose of Pfizer or Moderna, you will become eligible for your second dose after a waiting period of 21 days for Pfizer and 28 days for Moderna. Once you become eligible, you have a window of approximately 14 days to receive your second dose to ensure maximum efficacy. You do not need to receive your second dose on the exact date you become eligible.
• If you plan to use a walk-in clinic for your second dose, please be sure to select a clinic offering the vaccine you received for your first dose. If you arrive at a site for a second dose vaccination before the wait period has ended, you will be turned away. Please refer to your vaccination card and count the appropriate calendar days, starting the day after you received your first dose.
• You will be given information about follow-up post vaccination at your appointment. Site staff will provide instructions on how to enroll in V-Safe Post Vaccine Follow-Up Information and other important information.
