18 Mar Vaccination Eligibility Expansion
Today, March 15th, people aged 16-64 who have underlying health conditions or disabilities are now eligible to receive vaccines, as their conditions put them at the highest risk of becoming very sick from COVID-19.
Persons who are newly eligible and qualify for a COVID-19 vaccine due to a medical condition should note that during registration for a vaccine appointment, they will be asked to state that they have a high-risk medical condition or disability.
To protect confidentially, they will not be asked to disclose the specific condition.
People getting vaccinated must provide documentation at all appointments with either a letter from a healthcare provider, a personal physician or an agency providing services or, if not available, the eligible person or their caretaker will be asked to sign an attestation.
All eligible persons will also need to provide identification (government ID not required) and proof that they live within LA County at their appointment.

Vaccinations are always free and open to eligible residents and workers regardless of immigration status.
