Service overview
The Department of Public Health is providing COVID-19 vaccine to all Philadelphia residents age 12 and older. It is now easier than ever to get the vaccine and protect yourself, your family, and your community.
Widespread vaccination is a critical tool to help stop the pandemic. People who are fully vaccinated can resume activities that they did prior to the pandemic. Learn more about what you and your child or teen can do when you’ve been fully vaccinated.
Who
The CDC recommends everyone 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination to help protect against COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines are available for everyone at no cost. Vaccines were paid for with taxpayer dollars and will be given to all people living in the United States, regardless of insurance or immigration status. Children 12 years and older are able to get the Pfizer-BioTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Where and when
Many doctors’ offices, retail pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics throughout Philadelphia offer COVID-19 vaccinations. Visit vaccines.gov to find a COVID-19 vaccine provider near you.
The City also offers a program that helps people schedule in-home vaccination services for homebound older adults and people with disabilities.
Pharmacies across the city offer COVID-19 vaccine. Most local pharmacies will give second shots to people who are due or overdue, regardless of where you got your first dose. Check with your local pharmacy for details.
Walk-in vaccine sites
COVID-19 vaccine is available without an appointment at City health centers and health annexes across Philadelphia. You must be 18 years or older, but you don’t have to be a Philadelphia resident.
