If you are interested in receiving any of the above vaccinations, please talk to your physician to receive a prescription before going to a participating vaccine site. For flu vaccination, you may go directly to a participating flu vaccine site without a prescription.
Before you make the trip:
- Make sure you have a prescription for the needed vaccine — except for flu vaccination.
- Call the location you would like to go to and confirm they have the vaccine in stock and the vaccination pharmacist is available that day.
- Be sure to bring your current health plan ID card and at least one form of valid picture identification. Present this information to the clerk or pharmacist and inform them that you are a member of SCMG.
- There may be a co-pay for select vaccines for Medicare members, and Vons/Albertsons Pharmacies will collect this. If you have a commercial HMO you will not have a co-pay.
- Please note that Vons and Albertsons are only able to serve members ages 5 years and up for regular vaccines. For patients 18 months to 5 years old, please use CVS Minute Clinic for vaccinations, except for Varicella and Hib.
