Vaccination

The South Peninsula Hospital (SPH) Covid-19 Testing and Vaccine Site is permanently closed.

Safeway pharmacy offers vaccination by appointment or walk-in. Schedule online using Safeway's Pharmacy Scheduler

Use the Center for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19 Booster Tool to determine your vaccine eligibility.

Testing

  • The Federal program of ordering free COVID home tests through the mail has been suspended to preserve remaining supply. The program is no longer accepting orders. The site, www.covid.gov/tests contains directions for other testing resources.
  • Home Test Kits can be purchased locally with the cost covered by most insurance.

Treatment

If you test positive and are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19, treatments are available that can reduce your chances of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. Medications to treat COVID-19 must be prescribed by a healthcare provider and started as soon as possible after diagnosis to be effective. Contact a healthcare provider to determine if you are eligible for treatment.
