Now that the first COVID-19 vaccines are ready, what’s next? We know the vaccines are an important solution to ending the pandemic. However, most of us don’t know when it will be our turn to get vaccinated. Whenever it’s available, you will pay $0 for any authorized COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of the manufacturer. As a reminder, you pay $0 for the diagnosis and testing of COVID-19 as well.
To help keep you informed about the latest vaccine information, safety, how they work and more, we’ve created a new COVID-19 vaccine webpage with FAQs. Feel free to bookmark this page as we’ll be updating the content often.
While the Centers for Disease Control provided guidelines on vaccine distribution, each state decides who gets vaccinated first, and when. Most states are prioritizing vaccine distribution in four or five different phases. For information on COVID-19 vaccination in your area, please contact your local health department. If you’re a healthy person, you’ll most likely have to wait until one of the later phases to get vaccinated. Let’s get better together.
