All Alaskans age 16+ eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine

Yesterday the State of Alaska opened COVID-19 vaccine eligibility all residents age 16+. Thanks to increasing supply of vaccines, Alaska is the first state in the nation to make the COVID-19 vaccine so broadly available. 

If you or a loved one would like to get vaccinated, go to www.COVIDvax.alaska.gov or call 907-646-3322 to make an appointment. 

Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe?

Yes! The COVID-19 vaccine is a safe, effective way to protect yourself and your community from the spread of disease. Check out the video below to learn how vaccines are made and how the COVID-19 vaccine will keep you healthy.

While Providence isn’t currently offering the vaccine to patients, we encourage every Alaskan to get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible.
