Posted By Kimberly Wear@kimberly wear on Fri, Apr 9, 2021 at 1:05 PM Humboldt County residents who are 16 years and older can now get in line for a COVID-19 vaccine, moving them up before the state’s April 15 date for widening eligibility. Those interested can sign up on the state’s My Turn site. “We are so thankful to those members of our community who waited for their turn, and now it’s here, Humboldt County Public Health Director Michele Stephens said in a release. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible, so we can all spend time with friends and loved ones safely and protect those under 16 who can’t yet get vaccinated.”
Posted By Kimberly Wear@kimberly wear on Mon, Jan 25, 2021 at 12:25 PM Humboldt residents who are interested in receiving a COVID-19 vaccination can now fill out an interest form with the county to be notified when their tier comes up. A news release from the county s COVID Joint Information Center notes that vaccinations are currently only available to healthcare workers and those who are 75 or old due to limited doses. Appointments are expected to be opened up to some portions of the Phase 1B Tier 1 sector in the coming days and weeks. According to the county, about 3,000 people have filled out the form, which ask basic questions, including name, age and ZIP code, since its soft launch on Friday.
