Get Vaccinated from the comfort of your home!


(based on eligibility)

Eligibility

In-home vaccinations are available for anyone who is unable to get to a vaccine location.

How to schedule an in-home vaccination

You can call the In-Home Vaccination Central Intake Line at (833) 983-0485. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Representatives are available in both English and Spanish, and also have access to translators for over 100 languages.

You will be able to speak with a representative and you will be registered with the State In-Home Vaccine Provider.

The Commonwealth's In-Home Vaccine Provider, Commonwealth Care Alliance, will handle the scheduling and administration of in-home vaccinations.

When you are registered with the State In-Home Vaccine Provider, you will generally be called within five business days to schedule your appointment.

In-home vaccinations will be:

  • Performed by medical professionals, following all public health guidelines

  • Tailored to meet the individual needs of the individual, as discussed on the scheduling call

  • Scheduled based on geography of residents, not on a first-come first-served basis

  • Performed using the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine, which is easier to transport and requires only one appointment

  • Individuals 12-17 years old will be offered the Pfizer vaccine
