COVID-19 Vaccine Eligibility Updates for Surrounding Counties and States
See below for important updates pulled directly from the Tennessee Department of Health’s update: TDH County Health Departments Offer COVID-19 Vaccination by Appointment.
Tennesseans can follow a simple, three-step process to learn when they’re eligible for vaccination and register for a vaccination appointment:
- Find Your Phase
Tennesseans can find out what phase of the vaccination plan they’re in by visiting https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/eligibility/. - Find the Phase Your County Is Vaccinating
To learn what phase your county is vaccinating, visit https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/vaccine-phases/. - Register for a Vaccination Appointment
People who are in a phase currently being vaccinated in their county can register online at https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/vaccine-phases/ for an appointment time to receive a vaccination through their county health department. Click your county on the map and then click “Make an Appointment” to register. Those who register will be asked to enter their name and contact information to be notified of their appointment date, time, and location as soon as vaccine becomes available. - More Information can be found on the Department of Health’s website.
Please remember: each state has the flexibility to tailor recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for prioritizing vaccination. Therefore, the risk-based phases will vary in each state. Furthermore, each county’s vaccination within each state is limited by its vaccination supply. This means some counties will be further along in their vaccination phase than other counties, even if the counties are in the same state.

None of the Tennessee Counties above have COVID-19 vaccines available at the time this was published. The counties will announce when shipments are received. Bledsoe, Marion, and Sequatchie have confirmed they cannot turn away non-residents. Bledsoe, Bradley, Marion, and Rhea Counties have confirmed their next vaccine site once vaccines are received. Meigs and Sequatchie Counties will likely change locations as schools will be back in session before the next allotment is shipped.
