How Do I Register?

Please note the steps outlined below are for Harris County Public Health (HCPH) only. Steps for other providers may differ.

Step 1. What You Need to Know

• Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses. Moderna can be provided to individuals 18+ years of age. The Pfizer vaccine (ages 12+ years and up) or Johnson & Johnson (ages 18+ years and up). Learn more here.)
  • Keep in mind that only certain dates will be available and that the current supply of vaccines may be limited.
• There is no charge for the vaccine or administration.
• The vaccine is free of charge.

Step 2. Making An Appointment

2. Follow the instructions on the app to register for the vaccine.

Step 3. Receiving Your Vaccine

If you do not have transportation for your vaccination appointment, please contact the HCPH Vaccine Hotline at 832-927-8787.

1. When arriving to your scheduled appointment...
   • Ensure you have your QR code for staff to scan. This can be printed out or a screenshot from your confirmation email.
   • Follow signs and directions posted to navigate the vaccination site.
2. If, for whatever reason, you are unable to make your appointment and must cancel, you will need to complete the registration process again. Canceled appointments will not be rescheduled. 

Step 4. Scheduling Your Second Dose

Individuals can sign up and schedule instantly. Residents are encouraged to plan for their 2nd dose 3 weeks after their 1st dose. Learn more here.

Please remember, if you received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine you will need two doses. Upon completion of your scheduled first dose, you will receive a notification through text and/or email to schedule your 2nd dose closer to the date of your 2nd appointment. (Roughly 3 weeks) If there is no appointment availability, you will continue to receive notifications daily until you can sign up. 

Step 5. Scheduling Your Booster Dose
