Make an appointment to get your COVID-19 vaccine

Many vaccine providers are taking walk-in and scheduled appointments.

The best vaccine is the first one you can get

You can find a vaccine provider near you:

  • Online – Go to Vaccine Finder and search by zip code. https://www.vaccines.gov/
  • Text – Send your zip code to GETVAX (438829) for English and VACUNA (822862) for Spanish to get three locations and contact numbers nearby.
  • Phone – Call the PA Department of Health hotline at 1-877-724-3258.
  • If you are unable to leave home, or it is logistically impractical, contact your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to get help connecting with a provider who can come to you.

Transportation should not be a barrier to getting your vaccine

If you need a ride to get to your vaccine appointment, Pennsylvania’s Shared Ride Programs can help.

Our public transit systems also offer accessible transportation, which is often free or subsidized for older adults and people with disabilities.

You do not need insurance or an ID to get your vaccine

The vaccine is free. You will never be asked for a credit card number or payment to make an appointment.

You do not need a Social Security Number, or health insurance to make an appointment or get your vaccine.

Many vaccination sites ask for insurance and Social Security information so they can charge administrative fees to insurance companies or the federal government, but those aren’t required for you to get your vaccine.

Your immigration status and privacy are protected

Everyone can get a COVID-19 vaccine, no matter your immigration status.

You will not be asked for any proof of immigration status when you arrive for your appointment.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will not conduct enforcement operations at or near vaccine distribution sites or clinics.

Medical information in the U.S. is private and cannot be shared with immigration officials.
