Remember to update your inventory monthly

As a provider administering COVID-19 vaccines, you are required to update your inventory monthly.
If a location is set to display to the public, it's extra important to keep your inventory up-to-date so it continues to show correctly on Vaccines.gov!
If your inventory hasn't been updated in over 29 days, your location will no longer display in search results on Vaccines.gov.

Login

Login to your COVID Locating Health Provider Portal account at https://covid.locating.health/login.

Entering your inventory

All your locations will be listed out on the screen along with the most recently entered inventory for each location.
