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 for Sharp Rees-Stealy patients are closed for the 2025-26 season.
Patients with a primary care appointment can get the flu vaccine at their appointment upon request. Some specialty care departments, including allergy (Chula Vista and Rancho Bernardo), cardiology, endocrinology, OBGYN, oncology, pulmonology and rheumatology will have the flu vaccine while supplies last.
Flu vaccine
Everyone age 6 months and older should receive the annual flu vaccine. In addition to the standard flu vaccine, we also offer a flu vaccine for adults 65 and older.
COVID-19 vaccine
Sharp is providing an approved Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to individuals age 6 months and older, in line with the 2025–26 immunization recommendations issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and West Coast Health Alliance (WCHA). Under state law, these recommended vaccines are covered by most California-regulated health plans at no cost to patients.
RSV vaccine
An RSV vaccine can help protect older adults from severe RSV infection. The RSV vaccine is recommended for people age 75 and up and for adults ages 50 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 maternal RSV vaccine.
An RSV immunization called nirsevimab is recommended for infants younger than 8 months old born to mothers who did not receive a maternal RSV vaccine. Infants age 30 days and younger should receive immunization at their primary care doctor's office.
Frequently asked questions
Patients with a primary care appointment can receive the flu vaccine upon request. Certain specialty care departments, including allergy (Chula Vista and Rancho Bernardo), cardiology, endocrinology, OBGYN, oncology, pulmonology and rheumatology will also have the flu vaccine while supplies last.
Since benefits can vary among insurance plans, please check with your health insurance plan regarding potential costs.
Medicare: Both flu and COVID-19 vaccines are covered by Medicare Part B benefits. The RSV vaccine is covered by Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. If you do not have Part D coverage, you will be fully responsible for the out-of-pocket RSV vaccine cost.
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 medical centers 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.
