People aged 6 months and older may receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
People 3 years of age and older may receive a COVID-19 vaccine at a pharmacy without a prescription.
People can get COVID-19 vaccine from healthcare providers, including pharmacists.
People interested in getting their COVID-19 vaccine should talk to a healthcare provider, including pharmacists, about getting the vaccine. This is called “shared clinical decision making.” Healthcare providers already do this—they help you make informed decisions about care you receive.
Make sure to check with your pharmacy or healthcare provider about the availability of vaccines.
