Hepatitis Vaccine Distribution Program

Thanks to the dedication of and approval from the SF Health Commission, each year, the San Francisco Department of Public Health is able to provide a number of eligible, non-profit health care organizations with limited amounts of Hepatitis A and B vaccine to be administered to San Francisco residents who may otherwise be unable to afford vaccination. Hepatitis vaccine made available through this program should be used only for low-income uninsured and underinsured adults in San Francisco.

For information on eligibility and program requirements, please review the program guidelines.

How to Apply:

New organizations interested in enrolling in the Hepatitis Vaccine Program should email the SFDPH Immunization Program at immunization.dph@sfdph.org or call us at (415) 554-2955 to inquire about eligibility.

Participating providers must commit to accurate and timely documentation and reporting of vaccine usage, serving patients who are eligible for free or low-cost health care services, and fulfilling vaccine storage and handling requirements. Hepatitis vaccines need to be stored at the right temperature (36 to 46°F) to protect your patients from disease. Adhering to vaccine storage and handling protocol is critical to the success and effectiveness of your vaccination efforts. Continuation of the program depends on availability of vaccine.
