You can also talk with your primary care physician (PCP) if you have concerns. Remember to keep:
- Wearing your mask
- Practicing social distancing
- Washing your hands
For child vaccines, scroll down to the map. Then click the filter button next to “Find address or place” to choose the vaccine for a child (ages 5 to11 years old) or youth (ages 12+).
If you’re a veteran, learn more about getting the vaccine at the VA Phoenix.
