The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued emergency use authorization for two new vaccines to protect against COVID-19.
UPMC is now offering COVID-19 vaccines to both UPMC and non-UPMC health care workers, as well as seniors in our skilled nursing facilities. This is in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
We look forward to offering COVID-19 vaccines to the general population and protecting our communities. At this time, vaccines are not available to the public. Our hospitals and physician offices are not able to provide additional information and there is no waiting list to join. The Pennsylvania Department of Health is finalizing a larger vaccine rollout plan.

UPMC hospitals, doctors’ offices, and clinics cannot provide patients with COVID-19 vaccines at this time. Currently, there is no process to pre-schedule a vaccine and no waiting list to join.
