Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital is now offering the COVID-19 vaccine to those who qualify for it under Los Angeles County Department of Public Health guidelines.
A brand new COVID-19 vaccination site is arriving at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, with an appointment system already available online for Santa Clarita residents.
“Starting to roll them out is terrific, it’s great for the community,” said Patrick Moody, spokesman for the hospital. “The sooner than the better, but the bigger picture is beyond our control.”
Vaccines are by appointment only, with all appointments made through the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LADPH) website. Appointment times are available every Tuesday and Wednesday online, and Santa Clarita residents are recommended to make them quickly, as they tend to fill up in a matter of hours.
L.A. County is currently distributing vaccines based on a tier system, with the vaccine open to those in Phase 1A, which includes high-risk healthcare workers. To find out if you are eligible for a vaccine at this time, click here.

Healthcare workers who are eligible for the vaccine right now and plan on receiving it at a LADPH vaccination site must bring one of four documents proving their occupation. This could include a healthcare worker employee badge with photo, professional license and photo ID, signed letter from employer on facility letterhead and a photo ID, or a payment stub from a healthcare provider with your name and a photo ID.
In regards to future vaccine distribution plans at Henry Mayo, Moody says that officials plan to stay open for a minimum of six weeks with the possibility for extensions.
The vaccine clinic is located in the Henry Mayo Center at 23803 McBean Parkway and is open between 8:15 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday.
