Get the Vaccine

Last updated 2/26/2021

Please do not visit a clinic unless you have an appointment. CCHS has a process for providing leftover or unanticipated doses of vaccine to residents who have requested appointments. View distribution phases for information about eligibility and the chart below for how to request an appointment.

Healthcare providers who have extra doses left at the end of vaccination clinics should follow our guidance for minimizing waste of COVID-19 vaccine.
