Updated California law requires health plans and insurance companies regulated by the State of California, including Medi-Cal plans, to continue covering regular immunizations recommended by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). This includes flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

Check with your health plan or health insurer if you have questions about coverage. To schedule your vaccine appointment, contact your health care provider, local pharmacy, or visit myturn.ca.gov.
