COVID-19 Vaccine
As of Monday, April 5, 2021, all people age 16+ are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination. There are several different places where you can sign up. To see a map of all eligible pharmacies, check out the Alabama COVID-10 Vaccine Dashboard Hub, which receives updates Monday-Friday by 2:00 pm. You will not be able to schedule appointments by using the hub. Instead, you will need to go to the pharmacy websites.
