CalVaxGrant, a new state program to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates, has expanded its scope and extended the application cycle to reach more Californians.
In addition to physicians and medical practices*, independent pharmacies can now apply to receive up to $55,000 in support of their vaccination efforts.
Eligible providers can be reimbursed for related expenses incurred since November 2020 and through November 2021, including staffing and training (most common expenses), technology, infrastructure, supplies and equipment, and administrative overhead.
The application cycle has been extended until Friday, September 10, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. PT and is first come, first served. CMA encourages physicians to apply early to capitalize on this grant funding.
