Following is today's Saline County Health Department Vax Facts information for Tuesday.
VACCINATION REGISTRATION OPEN TO EVERYONE 16 AND UP
The Saline County Community Health Partners are actively registering and scheduling everyone age 16-years-old and older. If you or your teen would like to be vaccinated against COVID-19, please register for your appointment today.
Currently, Moderna is the primary vaccine available in Saline County. We are also seeing limited stocks of the Janssen vaccine. Both of these vaccines are approved only for those who are 18 years old and older.
We hope to receive the Pfizer vaccine, which is approved for 16- and 17-year-olds in the future.
The best vaccine for you is the first one offered to you.
You are encouraged to sign up on as many lists as possible to get the vaccine as soon as possible.
If you receive a vaccine elsewhere, please contact us to have your name removed from the registry. It is preferred for both your first and second vaccines to be from the same organization. However, please contact the local vaccine providers to inquire about available second doses if that is not possible.
A list of all the vaccine providers and what vaccine they offer is available at vaccinefinder.org.
Saline County has vaccinated more than 13,000 members of our community against COVID-19 thus far.
Those without access to the internet can register via phone or by visiting the Salina Senior Services Center.
Please remember to be cordial with the medical personnel who are working tirelessly to serve the Saline County Community.
