COVID-19 Vaccines: Scheduling, How Vaccines Work, and More

We are pleased to announce that UC Davis Health is offering the 2026-2027 COVID-19 vaccines for our patients, following California Department of Public Health guidelines. These are updated vaccines for the 2026-27 respiratory virus season.

For COVID, we offer the Moderna Spikevax vaccine. 

  • COVID-19 vaccines are available beginning Oct. 1, 2026.
  • Flu vaccines are available beginning Sept. 22, 2026.

How to get the vaccine from us

At UC Davis Health primary care clinics

Patients may request these vaccinations at the time of an upcoming in-person appointment at their primary care clinic. You can also make an appointment just to get these vaccines at any of our UC Davis Health primary care clinics across the region, Monday through Friday.  

Patients can schedule an appointment for the flu and COVID vaccines through MyUCDavisHealth self-scheduling or by calling our vaccine line at 916-703-5555. 

The most convenient way to schedule a flu or COVID vaccine appointment is to use MyUCDavisHealth:

  1. Click Schedule an Appointment
  2. Select either Flu Shot or COVID Vaccination
  3. Then follow the prompts to choose your appointment options

Important note: you can add a flu vaccine to your scheduled COVID vaccine appointment when you arrive. However, you cannot add the COVID  vaccine to a scheduled flu vaccine appointment. This is because COVID vaccines must be handled in a special way. 

At select UC Davis Health pharmacies

Adult patients 18 years and older can also receive their flu and COVID vaccinations at UC Davis Health’s 48X and Davis Clinic pharmacies. Our pharmacies also follow California Department of Public Health vaccination guidelines. See pharmacy contact details here

More guidelines information

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) posts its COVID vaccine guidelines on the Immunization Recommendations web page of its Public Health for All website.
