Knox County Tennessee

Scheduling Appointment

The Knox County Health Department is responsible for vaccinating groups within the phases as outlined in the statewide vaccination plan. While the vaccine supply is limited, it is imperative to prioritize who receives it, with people who are at the highest risk of getting the virus or becoming seriously ill receiving it first. Please answer the following questions to determine if you are eligible to receive the vaccine through KCHD. If you are eligible, you will be taken to a registration page to sign-up for an appointment. Qualifying individuals need to bring a valid ID or proof of employment (if they are eligible based on their job status) to their appointment.
Do you meet any of the following criteria?
  • First responder
  • Health care worker
  • Funeral/mortuary worker
  • 18 or older who cannot live independently due to serious chronic medical condition or intellectual/developmental disability
  • 75 and older
Have you ever had an anaphylactic reaction to any vaccine or medication injection?
Based on the current requirements in the statewide vaccination plan, you are not eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through the Knox County Health Department at this time. Please visit the Knox County Health Department's website to see your phase.
Due to a potential risk of reaction to the COVID vaccine, it is recommended that you receive this vaccine in a physician's office or similar environment.
