COVID-19 Care for Uninsured Individuals

This page helps uninsured individuals find low- or no-cost COVID-19 testing, treatment, and vaccines.

  • COVID-19 vaccines are 100% free for every individual living in the United States - even if you do not have insurance.

Regardless of your insurance status, providers cannot charge you for the COVID-19 vaccine or administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. If you experience or witness any potential violations of this requirement you can report the matter to the Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, by calling 1-800-HHS-TIPS or the website TIPS.HHS.GOV.
