COVID-19 Vaccine Waiting List Now Open to Delawareans 50+

Today, Governor John Carney and the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) announced that Delawareans aged 50+ can now register on the State of Delaware’s COVID-19 vaccine waiting list at vaccinerequest.delaware.gov.

DPH, the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) and the Delaware National Guard (DNG) will host large vaccination events to begin to serve the expanded wait list beginning on Saturday, March 27, and Sunday, March 28, at Dover International Speedway. Invitations for the limited appointments will be based on risk factors, including pre-existing medical conditions. In the weeks ahead, Delawareans registered on the waiting list will receive invitations for Speedway events, Curative vaccination sites and other community vaccination clinics.

The number of available appointments will be contingent on vaccine supply.

As of Monday, March 22, Delaware vaccination providers had administered 377,295 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. One in four Delawareans has received at least one shot.

The State also is working with additional essential workforce employers to vaccinate their employees this weekend. Essential employees may receive invitations from their employers to attend this weekend’s events.

Last week, pharmacies statewide began vaccinating Delawareans aged 50+. Delawareans 16-64 with high- or moderate-risk are eligible to receive the vaccine from medical providers, including hospital systems.
