In an earlier article, we listed out the guidelines for who gets vaccinated when. When your turn comes up, that leaves the question of where to go to get the vaccine. The actual distribution of doses is being managed by state and local authorities, as well as some private companies like CVS and Walgreens. A Google search of “where to get the Covid vaccine near me” returns some local and some national results.

But there is one central location to get up to date information on vaccine availability nationally. The CDC has a VaccineFinder website that collects information from healthcare providers offering shots, listing both the location and their inventory. While your state Health Department is a good place to start, this can also be a nationwide resource if your local resources aren’t up to date.

It appears that patience is the word of the day when it comes to vaccine distribution. At Home Eldercare will continue to provide you with the latest information as we find it. In the meantime, please continue to take precautions and follow the 3 W’s.
