| | Second dose appointment scheduling: Second dose appointments are now being made via e-mail. When you receive confirmation e-mail for your first appointment, it will contain instructions for scheduling your second appointment. - If you have already received your first vaccination, but do not yet have a second dose appointment, watch for e-mail with instructions on scheduling your second appointment.
- If you already have a second dose appointment, there is no need to change anything. Keep your currently scheduled appointment.
Remember that your second dose appointment should be made 3-5 weeks (for Pfizer vaccine) or 4-6 weeks (Moderna) from your first vaccination. First dose appointments: If you are having trouble finding an available appointment, check the online appointment scheduler each morning for new openings. New vaccination appointment openings are added regularly. Eligibility: Adults 65 and over, and those ages 18-64 with certain chronic health conditions are now eligible for vaccination in addition to healthcare personnel and EMTs/paramedics.
