Here’s the Link for Calhoun County Online Vaccine Appointments
It took a little longer than planned to get the bugs worked out of the software, but Calhoun County’s online system for scheduling COVID-19 vaccines went live on Tuesday night.
County Health officer Eric Pessell said the online registration tool is for vaccines directly administered by the county for now but said the system could be used for appointments at pharmacies, hospitals, and health clinics.
In a release, County officials said this registration portal will act as a waitlist for COVID-19 vaccine appointments moving forward. “Once pre-registered with our system, a follow-up email and/or text will be sent when new vaccine clinics are available to sign up for. This online scheduler allows for a much more streamlined process for scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments.”
The Calhoun County Health Department continues to give vaccinations and Health Officer Eric Pessell said Monday they expect to give between 2,500-3,000 shots again this week. But Pessell cautions that the COVID-19 stats in the county have not been encouraging in the past couple of weeks.
“We are seeing an increase in COVID-19 cases,” said Pessell. “I know last week we were being cautiously optimistic, but by the end of the week, it was pretty clear that we re seeing things going in the wrong direction. And we re seeing our hospitalization numbers go up as well.” As of Friday, March 12
th, there were 8,714 confirmed cases, 397 hospitalizations, 220 deaths and currently 18 persons in the hospital.
