Flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccines
Reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses is more important than ever. Stay up to date on your flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Vaccination clinics are open for Sharp Rees-Stealy patients at seven convenient San Diego County locations. Flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines are available.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended. To schedule an appointment, sign in to Sharp or use the Sharp app on your mobile device.
Patients who have a scheduled primary care appointment on Sept. 11 or later, can receive the flu and COVID-19 vaccine at their appointment upon request. Certain specialty care departments, including allergy (Chula Vista and Rancho Bernardo), cardiology, endocrinology, OBGYN, oncology, pulmonology and rheumatology will also offer the flu vaccine at appointments scheduled for Sept. 11 and later.

Flu vaccine
Your doctor and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that everyone age 6 months and older receive the annual flu vaccine. In addition to the standard flu vaccine, we also offer a flu vaccine designed for adults 65 and older. FluMist, a nasal spray flu vaccine, can be requested for eligible pediatric patients ages 2 to 17 while supplies last.
COVID-19 vaccine
The CDC recommends that everyone age 6 months and older get a COVID-19 vaccine. Starting Monday, Sept. 16, we are offering the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
If you prefer to receive the Pfizer or Novavax vaccine, visit MyTurn.ca.gov to find community pharmacies and vaccination clinics offering this vaccine.
RSV vaccine
An RSV vaccine can help protect older adults from severe RSV infection. The CDC recommends an RSV vaccine for everyone age 75 and up and for adults ages 60 to 74 who are at an increased risk of severe RSV. Older adults who have received an RSV vaccine in the past do not need to get another one at this time.
The RSV vaccine is recommended for pregnant people between 32 and 36 weeks gestation during RSV season. Please contact your OBGYN provider for your RSV vaccine.
Nirsevimab, an antibody injection, is recommended for infants younger than 8 months old to protect them from severe RSV. Starting Oct. 1, Sharp Rees-Stealy vaccination clinics will offer nirsevimab to infants ages 31 days to under 8 months. Infants age 30 days and younger should receive the immunization at their primary care doctor's office.
Mask recommendation
Wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth is highly recommended at all times in our medical centers.

There is no minimum waiting period between getting the flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccines. We recommend you get all vaccines available to you, especially if making multiple visits to our clinics may be difficult.
People with minor illnesses can be vaccinated. However, if you might be contagious to others, you should wait to recover before receiving a vaccine. Ask your care team if you have additional questions regarding your specific situation.
FluMist is available for healthy children ages 2 to 17 at our vaccine clinics upon request and while supplies last. Adults ages 18 to 49 who are not pregnant and interested in receiving FluMist should contact their care team for the nasal spray vaccine. Patients with certain chronic conditions, a weakened immune system, or severe allergies to the nasal spray vaccine components should opt for the standard flu vaccine.
