COVID-19: Where you can get vaccinated

Use the resources on this page to find out where you can get vaccinated. Please be patient, as vaccinators will prioritize the state’s most vulnerable populations or previously eligible groups before others.

The COVID-19 vaccine is free and any offers to get the vaccine will come from known sources, such as your local or tribal health department, health care provider, pharmacy, or a community-based clinic. You should not accept offers for vaccine or share personal information with an unknown source as these may be fraud. Learn more about how you can protect yourself or loved one from potential vaccine fraud.

 Where you can get the COVID-19 vaccine

Every community is different. But there are a number of places you may go to get your COVID-19 vaccine such as:

• Your employer
• Your local health department
• Pharmacies
• Community-based vaccination clinics
• On-site vaccination clinics
• Your doctor or health care provider

Some groups are more likely to be vaccinated through specific partnerships and programs. For example, residents of nursing homes or assisted living facilities have been getting vaccine through the federal Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care program. 

Federal Retail Pharmacy Program

The Federal Retail Pharmacy Program is a federal and state effort to provide free COVID-19 vaccinations at participating pharmacies. This program will play a critical role in accelerating local vaccination efforts in underserved communities. Please be patient. Due to limited supply, it will take time to reach all eligible individuals through this program and others.

Each pharmacy participant will ask questions to determine which eligibility group you fall under. This will help them decide when you will be able to schedule an appointment.
