Residents and staff of care facilities will be vaccinated through the Pharmacy Partnership for the Long-term Care Program.

Phase 1B

This Phase focuses on moderate-risk healthcare workers, first responders, other frontline workers, and those aged 70 years or older.

First responders: This Phase is complete. Any first responder still needing a vaccine should contact their employer.
Moderate-risk healthcare providers: The countywide signup for this phase is complete. Please sign up with one of the local vaccine providers. Complete the notification sign-up for regular information on vaccine availability and prioritizations.
All others: Currently, vaccines are available for those who are 70+. Vaccines for frontline essential workers and others in Phase 1B will be available later in the spring. The state estimates these vaccinations will begin in March. Please sign up with one of the local vaccine providers. Residents may sign up with multiple providers. You can also sign up to be notified when vaccine is available for the different groups.

Phases 2 and 3

COVID-19 vaccine will be made available through numerous vaccine providers for these phases. At some point vaccinations may become available through regular health care provider offices. Many of the local vaccine providers allow people in later Phases to sign up now. You can also complete the notification sign-up for regular information on vaccine availability and prioritizations.

Please note – compliance with state and local public health orders and guidance, such as mask use and reducing in-person staffing, will continue to provide protection for employees. These restrictions and guidance may or may not be lifted after vaccine becomes widely available.

Inclusion of Family/Household in Vaccination

Because the vaccine has been prioritized to protect individuals who may be exposed through necessary interactions with coworkers and the public, the vaccine isn’t available to family of critical or essential workers.

General Vaccine Availability

Vaccine will likely be available to the general public in mid-2021. It will be provided through many local health care providers and pharmacies. The community will be notified via news and social media when it becomes available.

Vaccination Cost

While the cost of vaccine is free, many providers will be charging for the administration of the vaccine. Agencies may charge insurance for a set priced administration fee of approximately $23, and agencies providing vaccination for uninsured individuals will be compensated by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
