How to Become a COVID-19 Vaccine Provider

As COVID-19 vaccine is available for all eligible individuals, NH DHHS will distribute COVID-19 vaccines to provider offices, urgent care, pharmacies and other local health care facilities that have the capacity to offer vaccination to patients. To receive/administer COVID-19 vaccine, constituent products, and ancillary supplies, health care organizations that want to receive COVID-19 vaccine must enroll in the federal COVID-19 Vaccination Program coordinated through the New Hampshire Immunization Program. Enrolled COVID-19 vaccination providers must be credentialed/licensed in the jurisdiction where vaccination takes place and sign and agree to the conditions in the CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Agreements. These conditions are detailed in the agreement itself. Note that NH DHHS will only be able to begin providing vaccine to these entities when vaccine supply allows.

In order to enroll as a COVID-19 vaccination provider, download the Provider Agreement complete the form electronically, being careful to follow the instructions, and email to C19Enrollment@dhhs.nh.gov.
