On July 21, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced that it will transition Blue Shield of California from its role as third-party administrator to an advisory role as needed.

Providers, multiple county entities, and local health jurisdictions that are approved for administering the COVID-19 vaccine will continue in the current vaccine ordering process. Blue Shield has released a statement on the transition.
For questions about future participation with the state to prepare for, order, and receive COVID-19 vaccine allocation, please contact CDPH’s COVID-19 Provider Call Center at covidcallcenter@cdph.ca.gov or (833) 502-1245, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (PT).
