Booking an Appointment

Step 1: Learn about the COVID-19 Vaccines

Learn about the COVID-19 Vaccines.  Then check if you need to consult a health care provider. You will need to consult a health care provider if you have severe allergies for a component of the vaccine. We recommend consulting a health care provider if you have any vaccine questions related to your medical history or your child’s medical history.  If you do not have a health care provider, you can book a virtual appointment:
