Following is the Saline County Health Department Vax Facts for Thursday.
NOW REGISTERING FOR PHASE 1, 2, 3, & 4
Vaccinating Phase 1 & 2
Saline County is now registering and scheduling all those in Phases 1 through 4. If you qualify for any of these phases and have not registered, please do so immediately.
Phases 3 and 4 include those with severe and other medical risks. Registration for people with qualifying health issues is on the "honor system." You will not be asked to show proof of your health condition.
Additionally, Phases 3 and 4 include young adults 16 and older. We are currently primarily receiving the Moderna vaccine, which is only approved for those 18 and older.
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. You will need to get both your first and second vaccines from the same organization.
Saline County has vaccinated more than 11,000 members of our community against COVID-19 thus far.
Due to the effectiveness of the vaccines, the Saline County Health officer has allowed the mass gathering public health order to expire.
As a reminder, the public health order is different from the mask mandate, which were put in place by the City and County Commissions.
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.
