COVID-19

Clinic Updates, February 2023:

Locations update: All locations currently have normal operating hours and services, including dental. If you are in need of health services please call or text us at 844.308.5003, before coming to the clinic. Please be advised that we are not allowing visitors in with patients at this time unless they are accompanying a minor, the elderly, or disabled. Thank you for your understanding.

Please be assured that at VCC, we are taking all necessary precautions; clinicians and staff are currently using appropriate protective equipment at all times, and patients who do not have a surgical mask are being given their own upon arrival. If patients are unable to wear a mask, we will help provide care in an alternate manner.

Testing:

It is important to get tested immediately upon having symptoms. Do not delay getting tested for COVID-19. VCC has same day appointments for testing and free test kits available for their patients. Call 844-308-5003 to get tested and get access to treatment if you test positive.

The VCC medical mobile unit is providing no cost COVID-19 testing to all ages and members of the community in North County San Diego. They are also providing COVID-19 vaccines and boosters. Check out events calendar and/or follow us on social media for continued updates on times and locations. You can schedule an appointment with the mobile unit by calling 760.631.500 ext. 1011. You do not have to be a VCC patient to access the mobile unit. Click on the links below, or call 211, to find a testing center near you.

Vaccines:

All VCC healthcare locations can provide ages 6 months and older with the COVID-19 vaccine and boosters if eligible.

Treatment:

There are medications you can take at home that are safe and effective for treating COVID-19, and they are free and available at VCC. If you get COVID-19, these medications can stop the illness from getting serious, can help you to test negative sooner, and may reduce the risk of long COVID symptoms. Treatments must be taken within 5 days of onset of symptoms. So do not delay!

As soon as you feel sick, call us at 844-308-5003 for testing and treatment options.
