I have Tricare, not UCSD. How can I get the COVID vaccine?
This question was answered live at the virtual conference titled, "Don’t Hesitate to Vaccinate! Our Experts Tell You Why" recorded on January 28, 2021.
Short Answer:
If you are scheduling an appointment at the Petco Park Superstation, sign into ‘My Chart’ as a guest if you are not a UCSD patient.
Additionally, Tricare is providing vaccines either through the VA system or through the MTF or medical treatment facilities vaccinations. Please go online to Tricare and see if you can get vaccines through that resource as well.
Explanation:
The County has opened four vaccination super stations and operates 15 smaller community points of dispensing, or PODs. There will be more vaccination sites opening up throughout the County.
