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.
