We invite your organization to join us in the fight against COVID-19.

The Chickasaw Nation is now offering COVID-19 vaccines at no cost to the general public. There are no tribal citizenship, employment or state residency requirements. We invite you to be part of this effort by sharing this opportunity with your contacts and encouraging your network to get vaccinated. By working together to stop the spread of COVID-19, we can help protect our families, neighbors and businesses and speed our return to safe communities.

Vaccination appointments are readily available by appointment at the Chickasaw Nation Emergency Operations Facility. The facility, located at 1300 Cradduck Road, in Ada, Oklahoma, has the capacity for 16 drive-thru lanes to maximize efficiency.

View this map for information regarding traffic flow changes to access the vaccination site.

Individuals may schedule appointments online for a drive-thru vaccine in Ada or at one of the Chickasaw Nation satellite health clinics in Purcell, Ardmore or Tishomingo at COVIDVaccine.Chickasaw.net.

Recipients must be age 18 or older for the Moderna vaccine and 16 or older for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

The Chickasaw Nation strongly encourages individuals who have received a first dose of vaccine with another health care organization to complete their second dose with the same organization.

Those currently diagnosed with COVID-19 must complete quarantine or isolation before scheduling an appointment.

The Chickasaw Nation COVID-19 Vaccine Call Center is available Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at (580) 272-1339 to assist patients 65 and older, and patients with no internet access. The call center is closed weekends and on Chickasaw Nation holidays.
