Vaccination Against COVID-19

  [close]

COVID-19 vaccinations are available from local pharmacies and healthcare providers. MSDH provides COVID-19 vaccinations for those who may lack insurance coverage.

Vaccination is especially important for adults 65 and older, children and adults who have weakened immune systems, and anyone with underlying health problems.

Vaccinations from MSDH

COVID-19 vaccinations are available at county health departments for qualifying individuals aged 6 months and older. (A parent or guardian must accompany minors to their vaccination.). No documentation or identification is required.

MSDH currently provides free vaccinations only for those who lack insurance to cover the cost of vaccination from other providers.

If You Have Insurance

If you have insurance that covers the cost of COVID-19 vaccination:

  • Check with your healthcare provider or a pharmacy for COVID-19 vaccination.
  • You can locate a private provider near you offering updated COVID-19 vaccinations at www.vaccines.gov

If You Do Not Have Insurance

If you lack insurance coverage for COVID-19 vaccination, or are uninsured, you can schedule an appointment for free vaccination at an MSDH location.

Call 855-767-0170 for appointments.

Vaccination Records

MSDH does not provide replacement vaccination cards, but our MyIR online service lets you view your immunization records, including records of COVID-19 vaccinations, and print them if needed. To get started, register with MyIR. Mississippi Certificates of COVID-19 Vaccination are also available through MyIR.

If you find errors in your vaccination record, or have difficulty locating your records, contact the MSDH Immunization Office: 601-576-7751.
