Where Can I Get Vaccinated?

All Pennsylvanians age 12 and older are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The Department of Health is now using Vaccines.gov as the mapping source to help individuals find a location where they can get vaccinated. Use the Find a Vaccine button below to find a provider near you.

*Note – Philadelphia County is a separate vaccine jurisdiction and has their own information about vaccine distribution.

Are you a Veteran, or Veteran's spouse, caregiver, or CHAMPVA recipient? You're also eligible to receive vaccine through the VA! Visit the VA website for more information.


Vaccine Provider Locations
  • The spreadsheet below is intended to provide a public overview of COVID-19 vaccine deliveries to providers.
  • Vaccine providers receive separate, detailed communications from the Department of Health (DOH) to ensure they are ordering the appropriate numbers of doses to fill first and second dose appointments.
  • The spreadsheet shows providers who have received a delivery of vaccine, the total doses delivered, and the date of delivery.
  • The spreadsheet does not distinguish doses delivered as first or second doses.
  • The department continues to fill provider orders and requests for vaccine throughout the week, as necessary.  
  • Spreadsheets are updated and posted on Wednesdays and Mondays to reflect the locations listed having received vaccine. For example, if a location is to receive vaccine on Thursday, it will not be listed in the Wednesday spreadsheet, but will be listed in the Monday spreadsheet which is the final spreadsheet for the previous week.
  • The COVID-19 Vaccine Provider Locations spreadsheet does not include Retail Pharmacy Partners or Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) receiving a separate allocation of vaccine directly from the federal government. Those partners, and the locations receiving vaccine, are included in spreadsheets below.
  • Note: During week 10 there were nationwide winter weather emergencies that resulted in shipments of vaccine across the country not reaching providers. Vaccine is shipped directly from the manufacturers to providers. The DOH has no control over the actual shipment times and deliveries to providers. The CDC and DOH both notified providers of delayed shipments during week 10. The delayed shipments are expected to be delivered to providers this week. It is the providers' responsibility to reschedule vaccination appointments as necessary due to delayed shipments outside of the DOH's control. Weather related delivery delays may skew the vaccine information in spreadsheets for week 10 and week 11.

Unusable Doses

Vaccine providers are required to report unusable doses of vaccine to the Department of Health on a regular basis. Providers reported that out of the 10,763,516 doses administered through Friday, June 4, 2021 in Pennsylvania only 0.28 percent of doses (30,258) had to be disposed of without being administered. Vaccine can be discarded for a number of reasons, including vials broken in handling and syringe issues, such as bent or broken needles or clients refusing after the vaccine dose was drawn.

This data is updated every Friday, including a comprehensive file that contains unusable vaccine doses by provider in the commonwealth's OpenData platform.

OpenData

The Department of Health has made COVID-19 vaccination data available through the commonwealth's OpenData platform. 

The commonwealth's OpenData platform also shows how the commonwealth's public-facing services are providing relief and support to those in need at this time. Information included is data from the Department of Labor & Industry regarding unemployment compensation, data from the Department of Human Services on its Office of Income Maintenance Call Center, and data from the Department of Health on COVID-19 case, death, and hospitalization data, as well as calls to the 1-877-PA-HEALTH line.
