Good Afternoon,

There is a lot of information out there regarding when and how to get a COVID-19 vaccine. The Department for Medicaid Services (DMS) created a guide to help waiver participants, caregivers, and providers who wish to receive the vaccine. The Guide to Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine is designed to summarize information regarding vaccine phases, how to find a vaccination clinic or site, and includes information on resources available to help those seeking a vaccine. The guide is available at the link below.
