Starting Monday, the state of Tennessee and most local health departments in the Chattanooga region will open COVID-19 vaccinations to a much wider group of eligible patients in Phase 1c, which includes adults with common chronic conditions such as hypertension and obesity. Here are answers to questions that newly eligible residents might have:
How do I get an appointment?
You can check with your local pharmacy, health care provider or county health department. There is also a federal website called vaccinefinder.org that will connect you with resources.
What paperwork or verification do I need to bring?
Required information differs by provider and is typically discussed during the signup process.
