Jackson County Offers Online Sign Up For COVID Vaccine

Caregivers and family can sign family and friends up if they lack computer access.

As demand continues for the COVID vaccine, there is also some confusion about how to make an appointment. 

Appointments for the COVID vaccine are scheduled online in Jackson County. For those without computer or internet, health department administrator Bart Hagston said a friend or relative can schedule an appointment for you.

“You’re able to sign up anybody you might care for or that needs some assistance in signing up,” Hagston explained.

The department is also verifying eligibility and deleting appointments for people who are not included in phase 1B. Those seeking a vaccination should bring an ID to prove they’re over 65, or an ID badge or pay stub to prove their status as a front-line essential worker.
