Question: How do I schedule an appointment for a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at AITC?

Answer: Click <here> and select the service “COV VAC SINGLE DOSE”.  We offer Moderna on Thursdays and Pfizer on Fridays.  Please note that  minors age 12 through 17 years are only eligible for Pfizer vaccine — if age 12-17 choose only  FRIDAY appointments

Question: How do I schedule an appointment for a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine at AITC?

Answer: Please click <here> and select the service “COV VAC SINGLE DOSE ”  Also note that while the optimal time to receive your 2nd dose is 21 days (Pfizer) or 28 days (Moderna), per the US Centers for Disease Control you can get the 2nd dose up to 42 days after your first dose.  If it has been more than 42 days since your first dose, you should still get the second dose as soon as you can.

Question: What is the consent process for COVID-19 vaccine for minors age 12 through 17 years?

Answer: Our preference is that the parent or legal guardian comes to the vaccination visit with the minor.  If that is not possible, the minor may come to the visit with a completed Registration Package and COVID screening/registration form with the consent signed by the parent or legal guardian.  If the minor comes to the visit without a signed consent, we will attempt to reach the parent or guardian by telephone. If we are unable to reach the parent or guardian by phone, we will follow Health Officer Order C19-19 which allows minors age 12 years and up to consent under certain circumstances.

Thank you very much for your participation.

For information about second boosters, please click here.

If you are eligible, make an appointment with us.

Please see this CDC page for booster dose eligibility.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html.  You will be asked to attest to your eligibility for a booster, but will not need to show proof.

Boosters with Pfizer vaccine are available at AITC for ages 12 years and up.  Boosters with Moderna vaccine are available for ages 18 and up.  If you’re age 18 years or older the booster dose can be with either Pfizer or Moderna and does not need to match the vaccine product you got for your primary dose.

You may want to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss which booster vaccine product is best for you.

Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine recipients are eligible for a booster (preferably with mRNA vaccine) at least 2 months after your primary dose.

Along with other SFDPH clinics, AITC will accommodate requests from Johnson & Johnson recipients who wish to get a 3rd dose.  Must be age 18 years and older who have completed a J&J primary vaccine dose plus a single booster or supplemental dose.  Timing is at least 5 months after the booster or supplemental dose.

• Eligibility is limited to SF residents and to non-SF residents who received their primary J&J dose in San Francisco.  In addition, those who wish to receive this 3rd dose will need to self-attest that they have consulted with a health care provider before the dose is administered.

To be eligible you must have moderate or severe immune compromise as defined by CDC, and your 2nd dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine was at least 28 days ago.
Your regular healthcare provider is in the best position to determine if you are eligible, and administer a 3rd dose.
If you cannot access a third dose through your regular provider, you can schedule an appointment at AITC. 
At the visit, you must self-attest to having one of the following conditions or treatments:

• Receiving active cancer treatment for tumors or cancers of the blood
• Received an organ transplant and am taking medicine to suppress my immune system
• Received a stem cell transplant within the last two years or am taking medicine to suppress the immune system
• Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency (e.g., DiGeorge syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome)
• Advanced or untreated HIV infection
• Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids or other drugs that suppress my immune response

If you’re age 18 years and up, you can mix-and-match booster doses … in other words, the vaccine product for your booster can be different from the vaccine product you got for your primary dose.

On our appointment page, you may select either one of the following:

-COVID Moderna Additional Dose for immunocompromised

-COVID Pfizer Additional Dose for immunocompromised
