CalHHS Launched Webinar Series on Federal Policy Changes and California’s Response
The California Health & Human Services Agency (CalHHS) launched a new webinar series focused on recent federal policy changes in health and human services and how California is responding to ensure continued access to care. The first webinar in the series addressed vaccine access and guidance, a timely topic as the state enters respiratory virus season. Under updated California law, health plans and insurance companies regulated by the state, including Medi-Cal, are required to continue covering routine immunizations recommended by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). This includes vaccines for flu, COVID-19, and RSV. Californians are encouraged to review CDPH’s vaccine recommendations and check with their health plan or insurer if they have questions about coverage. To schedule a vaccine appointment, individuals can contact their health care provider, visit a local pharmacy, or go to MyTurn.ca.gov.
The webinar featured insights from CalHHS Secretary Kim Johnson, CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Erica Pan, and Department of Managed Health Care Director Mary Watanabe. Topics covered included public health updates, health plan coverage requirements, and Medi-Cal vaccine coverage. A full recording of the webinar and presentation slides are available for those who were unable to attend.
