Businesses and community organizations in Contra Costa can now request visits from Contra Costa Health Services’ (CCHS) mobile COVID-19 vaccination van to workplaces, community centers and other locations where five or more members of a group want to receive vaccine.
The free mobile vaccination service begins Monday. Any business or organization can request a mobile vaccination clinic using an online form if they are in the county and CCHS will send a mobile health van to provide free vaccinations on site within one week after completing the request.
“The state pandemic health orders that have affected businesses, public spaces and community activities for more than a year are changing on June 15 – especially for people who are fully vaccinated,” said Dr. Ori Tzvieli, deputy health officer for Contra Costa County. “If you do not already have the best protection available against COVID-19, now is the time to get a vaccine. We will come to you.”
Clinics operate weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will only travel to locations within the county, though they will vaccinate anyone eligible regardless of where they live. There is no cap on the number of people who can be vaccinated during a visit.
California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy sunsets on June 15, eliminating the color-tiered system of health orders that curtailed business and community activities based on the levels of COVID-19 transmission data in each county.
The state will no longer require people who are fully vaccinated to wear face coverings except in certain settings, including public transit, schools, healthcare facilities and shelters though private businesses may enact their own COVID-19 safety policies. Visit the CCHS Beyond the Blueprint page for details.

Hi heard about the Mobile COVID Vaccination Van & I’d like to create an environment to assist in making it easier for those in the Monument Blvd neighbourhood to have easy access to getting a COVID vaccine, if they wish
I & mine are fully vaccinated & I do not know anyone personally who’s
seeking vaccination
However, I’ve a commercial property on Monument Blvd in Pleasant Hill with tenants who have clientele coming & going + neighboring businesses + a residential area across the street &
I’d like to offer my parking lot to the CCC Health Services to park their Mobile COVID Vaccine Van
Please call 925-324-8255 to let me know if I can be of assistance by offering my commercial parking lot to park the Mobile COVID Vaccination Van
Most sincerely,
Barbara Kious
