How can I get the COVID-19 vaccination?

San Francisco is committed to vaccinating all residents, as well as those who work and go to school in San Francisco FOR FREE. 

If you get either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccine, you must get 2 doses to be fully vaccinated. If you get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you only need a single dose. To be considered fully vaccinated for either vaccine, you must wait until two weeks after your last dose.
