End COVID. It starts with you.

UMMS and its affiliated hospitals are working with the State to vaccinate Marylanders according to the state's plan.

The COVID-19 vaccine is free, whether you have insurance or not.

Important Notes:

  • Vaccination is by appointment only, we cannot accept walk-ins.
  • The number of available appointments is determined by the supply of vaccine, which is limited at this time.

Steps for Getting the Vaccine

#1 - Determine if you are currently eligible for the vaccination.

According to the state's phased distribution plan, all Marylanders 16 and older are eligible to receive the vaccine. Anyone age 16-17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to be vaccinated. The parent or guardian will sign the consent form.

#2 - If eligible, register for your vaccine appointment online.

If you are eligible to be vaccinated at this time, you may fill out this form to request a vaccination appointment. (Note: This form may not compatible with your version of Internet Explorer or Edge.)

Once an appointment is available, you will be contacted. Please note the link you will receive to schedule may be from the domain "tav7.com." It is a legitimate link from UMMS.

Completing this form does not create an appointment. Even if you qualify to get the vaccine now, you will have to wait to make your appointment.

  • Until 10 days after receiving a COVID-19 diagnosis
  • If you have an active COVID-19 infection at the time of your appointment
  • Until 90 days after receiving a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody infusion or convalescent plasma

Please review this important patient information before your appointment for details about what to do before getting your shot, and what to expect when you arrive at your appointments.
