Medical Providers (including primary care offices, specialty providers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and hospital systems) can vaccinate all Delawareans 16+.

Call your provider for an appointment. If they are not vaccinating patients, they will provide your name and contact information to a health care system which will contact you to schedule an appointment.

Providers are asked to use their clinical judgment to continue to prioritize persons with high-risk medical conditions (see the list below), including disabilities, and their non-paid caregivers.
