Essential health caregivers who provide urgent in-person services can register to get vaccinated now. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services announced Wednesday that the registration for the vaccination in Phase 1a Tier 3 is open. To get an appointment, health workers can go to the department’s website, find the closest clinic offering vaccination on the map and get an appointment. The department also launched an app for registration for vaccination. The direct link to the webpage is http://bit.ly/vaccine_register. Vaccination of this group of health workers will probably take a good portion of January, Alaska Chief Medical Officer Dr. Anne Zink said during a Wednesday news conference.
