Treatment/Procedure: COVID-19 Vaccinations

Also called: COVID Vaccine; Coronavirus Vaccine; COVID Jab; COVID Vaccine Booster

COVID-19 vaccines help protect Arkansans from the COVID-19 virus and reduce the spread of the virus in the state.

UAMS Health is vaccinating all eligible UAMS Health patients according to the Arkansas Department of Health’s vaccination plan, which is based on age and other factors.

We encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to protect yourself, your family, your co-workers, and your community as soon as possible by being vaccinated. This is an important step in ending the COVID-19 pandemic.

For information about COVID-19 vaccinations, visit the CDC resource page.

Who Can Get a Vaccine at UAMS Health

You must be a UAMS Health patient to receive a COVID-19 vaccine at our clinic. We offer vaccinations by appointment only. Please bring a photo ID and your insurance card if you have them.

If you are not a UAMS Health patient, ask your local pharmacy or nearest Arkansas Health Department location about vaccines.

To receive a vaccination, you must be an Arkansan who meets the requirements in the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) vaccination plan. This now includes everyone age 5 and above.

Patients under 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian to the vaccine appointment. If a parent or guardian cannot be at the vaccine clinic with the minor, they may print and sign the COVID-19 Vaccine Acknowledgement Form and send it with the minor to the vaccine clinic.

Please bring a photo ID and an insurance card if you have them.

Masks must be worn at all times inside UAMS Health locations.

Initial Series

UAMS Health offers the initial series of the Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines to all adults. For children ages 5 and older, only the initial series of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is offered.

Additional Primary Doses for People Who Are Immunocompromised

If you are immunocompromised, you should get additional “primary” doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Primary doses are not considered booster doses because they are the same strength as the first and second doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

You can get a third primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine if you are immunocompromised and over the age of 5. To receive the third primary dose, it must be at least one month after your initial series. The third dose of the Pfizer vaccine is available to immunocompromised individuals age 5 and older. The third dose of the Moderna vaccine is available to immunocompromised individuals age 18 and older.

You can get a fourth primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine if you are immunocompromised and over the age of 12. To receive the fourth primary dose, it must be at least five months after your third primary dose. The fourth dose of the Pfizer vaccine is available to immunocompromised individuals age 12 and older. The fourth dose of the Moderna vaccine is available to immunocompromised individuals age 18 and older.

You can get a fifth primary dose of the COVID-19 vaccine if you are immunocompromised and over the age of 12. To receive the fifth primary dose, it must be at least five months after your fourth primary dose. The fifth dose of the Pfizer vaccine is available to individuals age 12 and older. The fifth dose of the Moderna vaccine is available to immunocompromised individuals age 18 and older.
