Create your COVID Locating Health Provider Portal account
- Providers who are approved COVID-19 vaccine administrators and have received a registration email from Vaccines.gov inviting them to set up a COVID Locating Health Provider Portal (Provider Portal) account. COVID-19 vaccine providers can add flu vaccine stock information for their location after they complete the initial account set up.
As an approved COVID-19 vaccine provider, you should receive an email from [email protected] inviting you to create a COVID Locating Health Provider Portal account. This invitation will expire after 7 days.

- Check what email address is listed in Section A of your Provider Agreement - this is the address your registration email is sent to. If you need to change this email please contact your jurisdiction or pharmacy partner.
- Check if your link has expired. If your registration link is older than 7 days, it will expire. You will receive new reminder emails with new links every 5 days.
Enter your account's email address, this must be the email address that received the registration email. You may then create a password.
