2021By Physicians for a Healthy California General
In partnership with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Physicians for a Healthy California (PHC) is administering the CalVaxGrant program to increase the number of providers vaccinating against COVID-19 by supporting and incentivizing physician organizations (with 200 or fewer physicians) to increase and maintain their participation in the myCAvax program, and to start or continue to administer COVID-19 vaccines.
Apply now to be considered for funding! The application cycle is open until August 13, 2021, or until all funds are disbursed. Once funding is exhausted, applications will no longer be considered.
CDPH has appropriated $40 million to CalVaxGrant and anticipates awarding approximately 3,000-4,000 practices with the funds. Existing vaccine providers are encouraged to apply now; new providers are encouraged to apply as soon as they complete Section A of myCAvax.
To be eligible, practices/physicians must:
- Be approved through the myCAvax application process
- Be a physician medical practice with 200 physicians or fewer within the organization or be an independent pharmacy organization
- Have not received pandemic grant funds to support COVID vaccine administration, such as the State Innovation Fund
PHC recently hosted 3 webinars to help prospective applicants navigate the application process. Click here for recordings of those webinars.
