Many questions have been asked about who is eligible for the vaccine. In general, people over the age of 75, health care workers, first aid personnel, and long-term care facilities are currently eligible. All vaccinations are by appointment only. There is no walk-up. The provider will then contact you directly. However, some people sign up online for updates or put them on the waiting list. How immunization eligibility varies by county and provider: The UC Davis Medical Center has begun vaccination of patients over the age of 75 by appointment. Patients will receive a phone call or email when it is their turn to vaccinate. Up to 850 eligible patients per day. The next layer of eligible patients includes patients over the age of 65, patients with heart problems, sickle cell disease, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, cancer, stroke and other conditions. The exact date is unknown. UC Davis Health is affiliated with Sacramento County dentists, the Sierra Sacramento Medical Society, and patients who are healthcare professionals (not affiliated with other healthcare systems). The goal is to set up multiple sites to vaccinate thousands of people a day. SutterHealth This week, we will begin deploying vaccines to patients and healthcare professionals over the age of 75. Sutter will eventually host an appointment vaccination clinic for eligible patients. Vaccines are not scheduled or managed at the provider’s office. Qualified persons will receive a letter from Sutter Health with instructions on how to schedule an appointment online or call the 1-800 phone number provided in the letter. There is no waiting list. Dignity Health This week we are launching a vaccination clinic for patients over the age of 75. Mercy San Juan will start booking on Thursday night. Methodist Hospital will start booking on Friday night. Both hospitals have a Saturday clinic. The hospital will contact the patient and make an appointment. Please do not call the hospital. Kaiser Permanente Only Phase 1A healthcare professionals among Kaiser Permanente employees, doctors, members and the community will be vaccinated. We have not yet transitioned to Phase 1B healthcare professionals. Cal ExpoThis is conducted through Sacramento County Public Health. Currently, frontline workers in Phase 1a are vaccinated only through appointments. We do not vaccinate the general public “for quite some time”. Cal Expo is just one of the county vaccination sites. Expect Phase 1b (including law enforcement, school staff, and individuals over the age of 75) to begin by late January or early February. The county has a waiting list created from the CDPH priority group so that doses are not compromised. El Dorado County County has launched an online sign-until it is on the waiting list in case last-minute dosing becomes possible. After appropriate efforts to reach the highest priority group, the lower priority group may be provided with the dose when the higher priority demand subsides or when the dose is about to expire. There is. Interested parties can sign up to receive the vaccine with limited notice from the Public Health Offices of Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, regardless of phase / tier, as long as they arrive within 30-60 minutes. I will. YoloCountyHealthcareWorkers in Phase 1a is currently vaccinated.
