Hospitals, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), other COVID-19 vaccination providers who are enrolled and activated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) are considered eligible COVID-19 vaccine providers.
In South Carolina, an eligible political subdivision partner, such as a county, municipality, school, utility or similar recognized government entities, must have a documented partnership with an enrolled and activated COVID-19 provider. Political subdivisions are encouraged to seek FEMA reimbursement directly when practical and feasible.
Organizations can visit DHEC’s COVID-19 Vaccine Provider page to access the link to the program enrollment form.
The COVID Coordination Office is not accepting new contracts at this time.
The COVID-19 Vaccination Agreement may not be changed in any way nor may an organization opt out of any requirements.
Eligible vaccination administration costs include and are limited to an amount per vaccination, depending on the services provided, and whether or not other reimbursement is received. The total per vaccination amount is $40.00.
Community vaccination events are special events scheduled for members of the community to increase accessibility to COVID-19 vaccinations. These events are not part of the routine business of the contractor and must be available to the general public, in accordance with current DHEC vaccine eligibility guidance, not just established patients of the contractor.
