With the CDC now recommending highly protective N95 masks to combat surging cases of Covid-19′s omicron variant, and news of President Biden providing 400 million N95 masks to pharmacies and community health centers in the next few weeks, you might be wondering how to get them — especially for free.
You can find a health center near you here: https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/

You can also find pharmacies / retailers who are participating with this program near you here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/retail-pharmacy-program/participating-pharmacies.html

We suggest to call ahead for availability, however, as the program will only be “fully up and running by early February,” according to a White House official.
