Due to the holiday on Monday, October 10, 2022, the OptumServe COVID-19 test site at the Health and Human Services building will be closed. The site will resume scheduled operations on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 from 7 AM to 3 PM. Register for no-cost testing at the lhi.care website or by calling 1-888-634-1123. OptumServe will prioritize those with appointments but may accommodate walk-ins. This site includes the “Test-to-Treat” format where individuals may get tested, assessed by a medical provider, and (if appropriate) prescribed antiviral pills for treatment. Persons should bring a list of all medications and supplements for assessment by the medical provider. PCR test swab collection is available from OptumServe upon request.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is offering another option for telehealth services to support COVID-19 treatment access in underserved areas. Anyone who tests positive, including with a home test, should contact their provider as soon as possible. If you do not have or are unable to reach your health care provider, this program provides access to a virtual telehealth visit for people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are symptomatic so that they may be evaluated for treatment. Appointments may be scheduled online with Sesame Care or by calling 1-833-686-5051. Both OptumServe and Sesame Care services are provided at no-cost.

COVID-19 vaccine clinics, including bivalent COVID-19 boosters, continue to be offered at the Health and Human Services Building on Tuesday mornings from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. To schedule a vaccine appointment visit the myturn.ca.gov website or call 1-833-422-4255. Appointments are prioritized; walk-ins must arrive at least ½ hour before the clinic end time. Retail pharmacies also continue to offer COVID vaccines, check the vaccines.gov website for availability. To schedule a vaccination for homebound individuals, call Public Health at (209) 223-6407.
