The CDC recommends that everyone age 6 months and older should get the latest updated COVID-19 vaccine, if it's been at least two months since you received your last dose of any vaccine. You can find more details on the CDC vaccination website.

  • Vaccinations are available at many pharmacies and health care offices.
  • You can also visit the Santa Clara County Public Health Department website for information about clinic sites near you – where you can drop in without an appointment, or schedule a time that fits your schedule. 
  • Or search for vaccination locations in California on myturn.ca.gov or nationwide on vaccines.gov/search. 


How To Get Tested 

  • Visit the Santa Clara County Public Health Department website for information about testing kits and clinics.
  • You can also get free home-testing kits from the U.S. government, which is offering up to four kits per household this fall. (If you got free home kits last year, you can still order a new batch now.) Visit special.usps.com/testkits to request yours.

Latest Updates

The most current information about COVID-19 will come from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the California Department of Public Health and the Santa Clara County Department of Public Health.

Student Health Services

Current students can visit the Health Services virtual clinic for services. The virtual clinic uses online video that is HIPAA-compliant for privacy and security, so students can talk with a health care provider about issues including women’s health, birth control, community resources and referrals. To schedule an appointment, send an email to deanzahealthservices@deanza.edu  

  • You can also visit Wellness Central, an online resource for students.
  • Note: If you have respiratory virus symptoms – which may include a combination of fever, cough, difficulty breathing, headache, chills and loss of taste or smell – stay home and call your primary doctor, health care provider's nurse hotline, or Valley Medical Center at 408.885.5000.
