Who Is Eligible For The COVID Vaccine In Louisiana?

In Louisiana, everyone age 5 and older is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer is the only COVID-19 vaccine approved for people ages 5-17.

You do not have to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine, nor do you have to provide identification or health insurance information to get vaccinated.

Final Word

Just so you’re aware, Accu Reference sites require health insurance information or an ID so the federal government can be billed for those who don’t have health insurance.

Individuals should understand their health insurance company’s policy regarding co-payments for COVID tests; this may vary depending on symptoms or exposure.
