The State of Louisiana is expanding COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all individuals aged 18 and up (or 16 and up for Pfizer product), effective Monday, March 29, 2021. This expansion of eligibility to all individuals meeting the vaccine’s minimum age requirements will supersede all other eligibility classifications and requirements, including the need to provide any documentation or self-attestation demonstrating employment or medical eligibility. Any self-attestation forms required to be collected prior to March 29th must still be kept on record by the vaccine provider for six months, following guidance for PHI records. These forms may be stored electronically to meet this requirement. COVID-19 vaccine providers are encouraged to begin taking appointments now, in advance, for individuals wishing to become vaccinated under the expanded eligibility criteria starting March 29th.
