I received the ATIS which said the localizer was out of service for Runway 8 and to expect an RNAV Y approach. Visibility was five miles haze. Upon contacting SoCal Approach; he said 'expect the ILS Runway 8' I mentioned the localizer was out of service. He said it was fixed. I requested the RNAV Y Approach. He said to expect the RNAV Y Approach. Before reaching the final approach course he vectored us off the arrival. [Then] when we got clearance 'Heading 130; maintain 3600 feet until established; cleared RNAV Y Approach contact Tower.' Within a minute from this clearance we received an RA (Resolution Advisory) from a VFR aircraft climbing within 200 feet. We followed the commands and climbed to 4100 feet before we received 'Clear of Conflict'. I contacted SoCal Approach to let them know of the RA. We continued the approach and landed.

B737 flight crew on a vector to intercept the Final Approach Course reported responding to an RA for an unidentified VFR aircraft right after being switched to Tower frequency.
