Efficacy and breakthrough infections
COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing infection, serious illness, and death. Most people who get COVID-19 are unvaccinated. However, since vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection, some people who are fully vaccinated will still get COVID-19. An infection of a fully vaccinated person is referred to as a “vaccine breakthrough infection.”

Campus Specific Questions
Is the COVID-19 vaccine currently available for UCLA students?
The updated COVID vaccine is available now at The Ashe Center for all students. Current students can schedule an appointment for a COVID vaccine using The Ashe Center Patient Portal.
Will non-student family members covered by UCSHIP be eligible to receive the vaccine through UCLA?
Unfortunately, The Ashe Center can only provide vaccines to current UCLA students. Family members should check with their primary care providers and with the county for vaccination options.
How will students outside of LA County coordinate access to the vaccine?
UCSHIP students can access the COVID-19 vaccine WITHOUT a referral, for any students who want to be vaccinated outside of the Los Angeles area. Non-SHIP students should contact their primary care provider for information about vaccines.
How do I submit documentation for a COVID-19 vaccine given outside of the US?
You can submit documentation of your COVID-19 vaccination via The Ashe Center Patient Portal by navigating to the Medical Clearances section. If you receive a non-US approved COVID vaccine and it is not listed, choose the option “COVID-19-unspec non-US admin” and upload a copy of your COVID vaccination card for verification.
Billing Questions
Who pays for the vaccine?
Previously, COVID vaccines were free because the U.S. government had purchased millions of doses. This has changed. With the end of the federal Covid19 PHE declaration on 5/11/23, The Ashe Center began billing for COVID vaccine and tests -- as with any other healthcare service.
How much will a COVID-19 vaccine cost?
Please see our Fees page for questions regarding COVID vaccination fees.
Does UCSHIP cover outside of LA County?
Yes, your coverage is in the Anthem Network, which is nationwide.
Who can I talk to regarding my billing questions?
If you have questions about getting the vaccine somewhere other than UCLA and are a UCSHIP student, you can call The Ashe Center Insurance Office.
