As data and recommendations are fluid, this page may not have the most up-to-date information. We will make every effort to keep this page updated and accurate but personalized recommendations should come from your own physician and this page should not be construed as medical advice. The upper right hand corner will show when the page was last updated. If you have any suggestions you would like to contribute please email us at [email protected] . Where to get your vaccine California and San Mateo County has done a great job getting vaccinated. If you have not yet received your vaccine and would like to find out where you can go, go to: ​ https://myturn.ca.gov ​ San Mateo Event Center: no need for an appointment! Myturn.gov Pharmacies: make an appointment, some walk in at the following pharmacies-  CVS  ,  Rite Aid, Safeway, Walgreens, Costco and Lucky. ​ Are you homebound?   You can still get your vaccine!  https://www.smchealth.org/post/covid-19-vaccine-homebound-residents   Want to coordinate a vaccination event for your neighborhood, organization or company? Get at least 25 people together and the county will do a pop-up vaccination event for you!  ​ The  new Bivalent booster, should I get mine? Yes! The new COVID Bivalent booster is available at area pharmacies and has been made to specifically target both the original SARS Co-V -2 strain and the Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants. You must have completed the primary vaccine series but don't necessarily have had the previous 1 or 2 boosters. You must be at least 2 months from your last COVID vaccine or COVID infection Be 12 years and up for Pfizer and 18 years and up for Moderna.

The recommendation is everyone try to get vaccinated by Halloween in anticipation of holiday gatherings. ​ https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html ​ Lost your vaccine card? The  California  Department of  Public  Health has created an online portal for people to access their vaccine information: ​ https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov All about testing Testing remains an important part of controlling COVID-19.  Who  should  get tested? Anyone unvaccinated or vaccinated with symptoms of COVID-19.  Rapid Antigen tests (results within 15 minutes) are good to be used when you have possible COVID symptoms. These can be purchased over-the-counter or online. PCR tests tend to be more accurate. These are preferred for asymptomatic screening and for confirmation of a rapid antigen test. What kind of test should I get? If you do not have symptoms but had an exposure, a PCR test is the most accurate, test 3-5 days after exposure. If you do have  symptoms, then a rapid antigen test is acceptable. Things to know about COVID-19 testing: Remember that rapid antigen tests due have a high false negative rate (you test negative even though you likely have COVID-19) but a low false positive rate (if you test positive, it is very likely true). PCR tests can remain positive for some weeks/months after COVID-19 recovery. If your rapid antigen tests remain positive >1 week after onset of symptoms, talk to your physician for more information. Where to get tests and testing: You can obtain 8  free rapid antigen tests from the US postal office.  https://special.usps.com/testkits or www.covid.gov/tests. Many commercial insurance companies cover home tests and PCR tests, submit for reimbursement. For patients who are symptomatic and want PCR testing, it can be arranged through our office at Sutter San Carlos. Below, some are covered by insurance or are free, some are cash pay. https://www.smcgov.org/testing www.curative.com - many sites throughout the Peninsula, free of charge, with recently <48 hr turnaround. www.  carbonhealth.com https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/covid19/testing . -- can get drive through test at the Walgreens 3rd ave location https://www.flysfo.com/travel-well/covid-19-testing www.afterhourspediatrics.com- does testing for adults as well. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Positive for COVID-19 ? Available Treatments and Guidelines. The current COVID-19 variants are highly  transmissible. If you have avoided COVID-19 until now, there is a good chance you may contract it. The good news is, you are less  likely to die or be hospitalized if you are vaccinated and there are some  treatments  available.  If you are at risk for severe disease, the following treatments are available: Paxolovid (ritonavir)- oral drug and available but numerous potential drug interactions. Should be given as soon as possible and within 5 days. Would recommend for those over 50 with risk factors, given increasing rebound symptoms requiring re-quarantining due to transmission. Xevudy (sotrovimab)- monoclonal antibody, single intravenous infusion given in the hospital or emergency room. Veklury (remdesivir)- monoclonal antibody, three daily intravenous infusions, if hospitalized. ​ For Paxlovid, there are Test to Treat Centers available if you cannot reach a physician:  https://covid-19-test-to-treat-locator-dhhs.hub.arcgis.com . Please use caution and make sure they know about your other medications as some do interact with Paxlovid. ​ If you are immunocompromised and were unable to be vaccinated, you may be eligible for (PrEP) Pre-exposure prophylaxis with Evushield, two monoclonal antibodies administered as two separate intramuscular injections. The criteria are: moderate to severely compromised immune systems due to a medical condition or due to taking immunosuppressive medications or treatments and may not mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccination (examples of such medical conditions or treatments can be found in the  fact sheet  for health care providers) or; a history of severe adverse reactions to a COVID-19 vaccine and/or component(s) of those vaccines, therefore vaccination with an available COVID-19 vaccine, according to the approved or authorized schedule, is not recommended. cannot be currently infected with COVID-19 or have had a COVID-19 exposure. ​ What if you have mild disease? What can I take? Vitamin D- many studies have failed to show benefit but low risk to supplment Zinc- in high doses, can be toxic. The total recommended dose should be no larger than 40mg a day. You can take: fluids, tylenol/ibuprofen, get a pulse oximeter from Amazon* and rest. If your pulse oximeter is less than 90%, please go to the emergency room or call 911. If you develop chest pain or shortness of breath, call your physician or call 911. *(for example) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BJT9OE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ​ Quarantine vs Isolation: Quarantine means staying home. It is no longer required for most people who have been exposed, but test negative. But it may be recommended if you live or work in a  high-risk setting . Isolation means staying home and away from others in your household. It is for people who are ill or test positive. ​ Isolation guidelines: If you were exposed but have no symptoms Regardless of your vaccination status: Get tested 3-5 days from last exposure Wear a mask around others for 10 days, even at home If test result is positive, isolate If you had COVID-19 within the last 90 days: You don’t need to test unless symptoms start If symptoms start, isolate --> FAQs on Concierge Medical Services | Bloom Primary Care top of page BLOOM PRIMARY CARE Concierge Medicine Home Services Team COVID Blog Payment FAQ More Use tab to navigate through the menu items.
