Steps to Enroll
The California Medical Association (CMA) is providing onboarding support to pediatric providers, individual practitioners and small group practices and will work directly with you to discuss the steps necessary for you to apply for eligibility to receive and administer COVID-19 vaccines within your scope of practice. Also, find out about the CalVaxGrant which offers up to $55,000 to help with expenses such as staffing, technology, supplies/equipment, and administrative overhead. The deadline to submit an application for the CalVaxGrant program has been extended to October 15, 2021.
1. Review program requirements
We strongly recommend that you review the enrollment requirements before planning any further, to determine whether your organization will meet all the requirements.
- Enrollment Kit (walks you through the enrollment process and requirements)
- Provider Enrollment Worksheet (gather required information before logging in to myCAvax)
- Storage Guidelines
2. Register with your local registry (CAIR, RIDE or SDIR)
Ensure that all vaccination locations are registered and able to submit vaccine administration data to the immunization registry (IIS) for your area. You will need to provide a unique IIS ID (such as CAIR Org Code) for each location during the enrollment process. Skip this step if your location is already enrolled in CAIR2, SDIR, or RIDE and has its own unique IIS ID.
- Most Counties: Enroll in CAIR. If you need help, email CAIRDataExchange@cdph.ca.gov if you have an EHR. Otherwise contact your Local CAIR Representative
- San Joaquin Region (Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tuolumne): Healthy Futures/RIDE, email support@myhealthyfutures.org
- San Diego County: SDIR, email sdir@sdiz.org
Providers may choose to use the My Turn application to submit vaccine administration data and/or manage vaccine clinics if you do not have an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system.
