Whether you want to schedule your first dose, or any other doses, the process to find a COVID-19 vaccine provider is always the same.

• If you need help scheduling a vaccination after you’ve had your first shot, contact the location that set up your first appointment.
• If you need to get another dose in a location that is different from where you received your previous shot (for example, if you moved to a different state or attend school in a different state) you can find a vaccine provider by following any of the recommendations above.
• If you are having trouble or have questions about using a vaccination management or scheduling system, reach out to the organization that enrolled you in the system. This may be your state or local health department, employer, or vaccination provider.

Scheduling Vaccination Appointments

Most vaccination providers schedule vaccination appointments online. To schedule your COVID-19 vaccination appointment, visit vaccine providers online scheduling services. If you have a question about scheduling your vaccination appointment contact a vaccination provider directly.

• CDC cannot schedule a vaccination appointment.
• CDC cannot assist with verifying, rescheduling, or cancelling your vaccination appointment.

If you need to verify, reschedule, or cancel a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, contact the location that set up your appointment. If you need to schedule a second-dose, additional-dose, or booster-dose appointment and the location where you received your other dose(s) is no longer offering COVID-19 vaccine, you may be able to get an appointment at another location. Contact your state or local health department for help or look for other COVID-19 vaccination providers near you.

COVID-19 Vaccines Are Free to Anyone in the United States

• CDC does not require U.S. citizenship for individuals to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
• Jurisdictions (state, tribal, local, and territorial) cannot add U.S. citizenship requirements or require U.S. citizenship verification as a requirement for vaccination.

Be aware of scams

If anyone asks you to pay for access to a COVID-19 vaccine, you can bet it’s a scam. Don’t share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to a vaccine for an extra fee.

COVID-19 vaccination providers cannot:

• Charge you for a vaccine
• Charge you directly for any administration fees, copays, or coinsurance
• Deny vaccination to anyone who does not have health insurance coverage, is underinsured, or is out of network
• Charge an office visit or other fee to the recipient if the only service provided is a COVID-19 vaccination
• Require additional services in order for a person to receive a COVID-19 vaccine; however, additional healthcare services can be provided at the same time and billed as appropriate
