IHSS Provider vaccinations started on January 1 as part of the state's Phase 1A Tier 2 prioritization group

To receive your vaccination, you must:

  • Wait for a text, call, and/or letter with your vaccination appointment information. Provider’s insurance type will decide where you get vaccinated. Based on your vaccination site, you will either be given a drop-in time or be asked to make an appointment online or through a phone hotline.
  • Make sure IHSS has your correct mailing address and cell number. To update your contact information, call IHSS at (415) 557-6200.

When you become an IHSS Care Provider, you'll get a salary and job benefits to work for an IHSS Care Recipient who can be a family member, a friend, or a referral. The types of care may include bathing, dressing, meal preparation and clean up, light housekeeping, laundry, and shopping. Your IHSS Care Recipient will manage your work schedule and sign your timesheets.
