We will continue to utilize the SignUpGenius posted on our website for scheduling vaccinations at area mass vaccination clinics. Stay tuned to our website, our FB page, and local media for these SignUpGenius links.  We will provide vaccination to ALL who want vaccination within our two counties, but we have to follow the priority schedule provided by the Federal and State government.  Currently, we are only allowed to vaccinate priority group 1B which includes “essential workers” and those age 65 and older. Health conditions do not enter into this vaccination prioritization schedule at the current time.

Essential workers includes first responders, K-12 education workers, food and agriculture, manufacturing, corrections workers and inmates, USPS workers, public transit workers, grocery store workers and staff at shelters and day cares. 

Each week we will assess demand, available supply of vaccine, and staffing before posting a new SignUpGenius link.

 PLEASE continue to practice our prevention protocol:  WASH your hands frequently, WEAR a mask when in public, WATCH your distance (maintain a 6 ft distance), don't attend or host gatherings, and shelter vulnerable populations. 

Thank you!
