SC COVID-19 Vaccine Update

Be sure to read about two different options below.

MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina)

COVID-19 VACCINATION UPDATE

Governor Henry McMaster and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) have announced that beginning Wednesday, Jan. 13, South Carolina residents age 70 or older, regardless of health status or preexisting conditions, can schedule appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. South Carolina residents who qualify for a vaccine at this time will be asked to sign an attestation that they meet eligibility requirements established by DHEC and may be asked to provide a driver’s license or some other form of ID at time of appointment to confirm eligibility. 

Eligible citizens should visit https://muschealth.org/vaccine-1a to make an appointment. 

The community is encouraged to monitor muschealth.org for COVID-19 vaccination updates. MUSC Health is aligned with CDC and SCDHEC recommendations for distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.

All individuals in Phase 1a will need to sign an attestation to their vaccine status and may need to present credentials/proof to verify they qualify to receive vaccination.  Patients who will not attest to their status or who are not able to present credentials (e.g., driver’s license for the 70+ group or employer badge, medical license, picture of license, or other proof for Phase 1a group) will not be vaccinated and asked to return with proof at their earliest convenience.  

As supply becomes more readily available, MUSC Health will next offer the Pfizer vaccine to community essential workers in early 2021. The community is encouraged to monitor muschealth.org for COVID-19 vaccine availability criteria, updates and FAQs.
