CDC Vaccine Locator - searchable by zip & manufacturer

[SheltieLover]

Worked for me. I had to keep refreshing page for about an hour. These are appointments at pharmacies, 15 min apart.

In less than 24 hrs, 1st Pfizer was in my arm.

Note: of course, you need to qualify for the vaccine stage in your state.

Good luck!

1. Keeping this thread kicked.

Although I have already had my first shot at my local county Department of Public Health, I tried out the website and it came up with quite a few pharmacies that had stock within 50 miles of my zip code location.

This could be helpful for people who are trying to locate pharmacies with vaccine.

And using this page will walk you through the process to find out if you are eligible in your state:

7. Ty!

Hoping everyone finds a vax soon!

My arm is a bit tender, but much better than a ventilator, long-haul, or living in terror!

2. KnR so others can see this!

We got our first on Monday, will get our second in a couple of weeks, so are okay here.

You are doing a public service with your post!

3. Thanks. I keep coming up empty but will keep trying.

[SheltieLover]

8. Keep at it 50!

I kept refreshing for about an hour!

[Midnight Writer]

4. Thank you, SheltieLover. You're as handy as a pocket on a shirt.

Nothing available in my area right now, but I've bookmarked this site and will be coming back.

[SheltieLover]

9. Awwwww

Thx!

I hope you score soon!

[Ms. Toad]

5. Thanks! n/t

6. Walmart is very cruel.. The vaccinefinder says the Walmart near me

has the Moderna vaccine. Cool! Log into that walmart store and it says there are no appointment available..try another store..
I did.. All stores All Booked up... A cruel joke by Walmart. I'll try tomorrow..

[SheltieLover]

10. Pharmacies that have appts available have a green mark after name/location

Keep at it!

I kept refreshing for about an hour.

Good luck!

[mitch96]

13. Yup, this one had a green marker like you said.. That's why I said it was a cruel joke..

No big deal, I'll just keep banging away on Sunday...

[SheltieLover]

16. Good plan!

Pursue it like concert tickets!

That is how I went at it.

Let us kbow how it works out!

[mitch96]

19. I'm signed up with the Public health dept in my county, CVS and playing the Publix lottery game

So far a big zero. One gent on this forum who is in my county got his "jab" from the Health Dept last week. Maybe I'll hit pay dirt as I signed up about two weeks after him..
Fingers crossed. ;^)

[SheltieLover]

23. I hope you get one soon!

Fingers crossed for you! 🤞🤞🤞

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Didn't Work For Me

3 Walgreen's & 2 CVS stores show appointments available.
When I go to CVS or Walgreen's website, they both say no appointments for at least 3 days.
I bookmarked the page, though.
I'll try again in a couple days.

[SheltieLover]

20. Keep refreshing page, Professor!

I had to for about an hour & eventually scored! 1st Pfizer in less than 24 hrs!

[orleans]

28. same here. (western burbs of chicago) nt

[SheltieLover]

33. Keep refreshing page

I did that for about an hour Thursday & got 1st Pfizer yesterday.

Good luck!

[orleans]

54. i've heard our county is low on supply so that certainly isn't helpful for those of us who want it.

the gov was opening up an expanded phase B on feb. 25 but my county refuses to expand (which leaves me out)

sad panda

[SheltieLover]

56. Sorry to hear!

Are you in dupage or kane?

[orleans]

59. dupage nt

[SheltieLover]

61. Nice!

Used to live in St. Charles.

[orleans]

65. lol

i used to go to a restaurant/lounge in st. charles
but i don't recall the name of the place
(i guess i didn't go there very often)

[SheltieLover]

66. Used to love Potters Mexican

Little Owl in Geneva... Salerno's pizza.

Aka real food!

[ProfessorGAC]

60. I'm Finding Sites Showing Vax

But, when I go to those store sites it says "No appointments available for 3 days."
So, that site you found is great but seems to lag behind the actual availability in the areas in question. At least for northeast Illinois.
Orleans lives in a county that touches the one I live in. DuPage is the next county north.
2nd & 4th most populous counties in the state and they're both lagging.

[SheltieLover]

62. Did you try advancing date function?

I used to live in Kane.

I kept refreshing site. Seems doses appeared before appointments & doses were generally listed in batches of 20.

I hope this helps you & everyone to find a vaccine!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

11. Yes, keep trying. Try every five min., in the middle of the night, early

in the morning.

I got my appointment late on a Saturday night. They must have just opened up for 65+ yr. olds, and I was ready to hit the "confirm appt." button. Also get yourself familiar with what information you'll need to supply, have everything ready, and supply as much info as possible so that you just need to confirm. When I was searching I had several spots fill up as I was submitting info.

[SheltieLover]

22. Great points!

I had to try numerous times when appts popped up. Some were already taken.

[Thekaspervote]

12. It's the same with hyvee groceries and Walgreens..vaccine in stock, no appointments available

[SheltieLover]

21. If they have doses, they will add appts!

Keep refreshing! I did that for about an hour & scored! 1st Pfizer in less than 24 hrs!

[wnylib]

32. My home laptop is not online. When I

try your link on my phone, all it does is buffer, forever and ever and ever.

I will try a library computer on Monday.

[SheltieLover]

34. Weird. I just tried link on phone & it loaded very quickly

Sorry you had trouble with it.

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Thank you

People from all over the state (even Chicago) have been traveling to Springfield to get the vaccine. There seems to be enough vaccine but no appointments available. I'll keep checking. I have an account at Walgreens for prescriptions so that's where I, along with my husband, will probably end up getting it.

[SheltieLover]

17. Yw, Beagles!

From Chicago to Springfield? :-0

If they have doses, they will open appts!

Good luck! Let us know when you score?

[MustLoveBeagles]

26. I don't know why Springfield became a hot spot for obtaining vaccines

I started looking for vaccines in earnest when Illinois recently expanded Phase 1b to include those 16 to 64 with comorbidities. The Walgreens I go to has run out of Moderna but still has Pfizer with no appointments available. Their website said to check back in 3 days. I've also spoken to the Department of Public Health and they said to be patient and keep trying. A spot might open up if there's a cancelation. I'm also looking for my husband. I'll give an update when I make progress.

[SheltieLover]

36. If they have doses, they will add appys!

Keep trying!

[brooklynite]

15. This is missing a huge amount...

No public clinics and I know of some private outlets that aren’t in the listing.

[idahoblue]

24. How are providers identified?

Only one pharmacy showed up. There are 3 pharmacies, the hospital and the health department. None showed up on the list.
Also, the miles option only goes to 50 miles. For those living in the western states, that is not enough. We drive 70 miles to go to Costco.

[idahoblue]

25. I just sent a comment

They have a contact page for our input. I just made my concerns known to them.

[SheltieLover]

44. Glad you sent comment!

[SheltieLover]

43. Not sure how it works

Maybe providers have to sign up?

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. :-/

[msongs]

27. just cuz they have it doen't mean u can get it due to age and other factors nt

[SheltieLover]

41. True, as noted in op

But many who qualify cannot find appointments.

[spooky3]

29. Just got an email saying VA will receive 69000 doses next week

of the Johnson and Johnson one dose vaccine. Hope your states will receive a lot too.

[SheltieLover]

40. Are they using J&J on general population?

[spooky3]

58. These new doses are J&J, on top of whatever other

doses they were scheduled to receive, and I assume these will go to the general population too.

[Lucinda]

30. Thank you!

[SheltieLover]

37. Yw!

Keep refreshing page! I did for about an hour!

[nolabear]

31. You are just the BEST! I'm sharing all over.

[SheltieLover]

38. Awwww ty!

[iluvtennis]

35. Very nice - thanks for posting this link - much appreciated. nt

[SheltieLover]

39. Yw!

[Akacia]

42. OMG! Thank you so much!!!!

I was able to schedule one for my Husband using this! I have been trying to navigate the County website and this was simple as can be! I feel so relieved! I get my 2nd on the 18th but had not been able to get him scheduled! You have made my Saturday!!!!!!

[SheltieLover]

46. Yaaaaaay!

So glad it worked for you folks!

[Tree Lady]

45. I got my mom last minute cancellation

At Rite Aid today. She doesn't drive, i am out of state, her place has shuttle during week so she took a taxi. Worked good.

[SheltieLover]

47. Nice!

Glad you got your mom taken care of!

[Tree Lady]

49. Older people are fussy sometimes

Senior place she lives at is using CVS and I find out my mom hates that pharmacy, nothing I said mattered. So I was trying over and over the other ones.

[SheltieLover]

52. Not a fan of CVS dither, personally

But glad she got a shot!

[turbinetree]

48. Thank you................

I was told that I had to get up at 4:00 in the morning to get my name on the list just to get an appointment for March 5, 2021 , because by 9:00 AM they are fully booked on where I am trying to get my shot, I was told that I was told that I am competing with about 10,000 people everyday in my state location ............

[SheltieLover]

50. Yw!

I hope you can get appt on this site! Appts are every 15 min. They were right on time with mine.

Good luck! Let us know?

[turbinetree]

55. Wado................thank you

I will..........

[SheltieLover]

57. Yw!

I was refreshing page like I was chasing baseball playoff tickets!

[Kingofalldems]

51. Nothing available in my area.

And never has been it seems.

[SheltieLover]

53. Sorry to hear

Keep checking. This site just went live a couple of days ago.

Good luck! Let us know when you find one!

[PA Democrat]

63. 32 places within 25 mi of me supposedly have the vaccine. ZERO actually have it.

I hope this works for other people, but it is sadly not current here in western PA. I think it is a factor of the pharmacies and other providers not keeping their info up to date.

[SheltieLover]

64. When I used the site, I noticed providers updating availability in batches of 20

This is a very recent CDC redo of their previous flu shot locator, so I am guessing it will improve as more providers sign up & as more doses become available.

I sat & kept refreshing page for about an hour before being able to jump on an appointment. Worked for me - had 1st pfizer in my arm in less than 24 hours.

I hope you are able to find one soon!
