With Johnson and Johnson applying for approval on the first single-dose Covid-19 vaccine bringing more hope to availability, it does not stop people from wondering, “Where do I get the vaccine now?”

Unfortunately, there is no straight-forward and easy answer for this question.

There is however, ways to be placed on a list for when the vaccine does become available. Just remember, vaccines are mostly limited to those who are in the most need.

Contact your primary care provider, and see if they have a list for you to be entered onto, and then contact your pharmacy for the same reason.

Once you have done these two things you can start reaching out to these places to see what they have available, if anything, or if you need to be on a list with them as well.
