The most powerful, simple and trusted way to gather experience data. Start your journey to experience management and try a free account today.Vaccine eligibility is currently open to phases 1A, 1B and residents 65 years of age and older. However, vaccine supplies are limited. Public Health – Muskegon County prioritizes available vaccines to those at most significant risk of COVID-19 exposure and negative health outcomes.
Individuals eligible for vaccination because they are 65 and older are encouraged to fill out the Vaccine Request Form. This form is available at www.maskupmuskegon.org/vaccineinfo. Numerous local social service organizations will also be working to connect with individuals who may not have the ability to fill out this online form.
Public Health – Muskegon County will contact individuals who filled out this form to schedule a vaccination appointment as vaccines become available. Due to the large demand for vaccines and limited supply, it may take some time for an appointment to be scheduled.
If you are eligible for vaccination based on your job, vaccination will be coordinated through your employer. Please follow any directions provided to you by your employer as they become available.
Vaccination for Phases 1C and 2 (general public) are expected to begin later in 2021.
Mask Up Muskegon is offering a FAQ for general questions about the vaccine. That information can also be found at www.maskupmuskegon.org/vaccineinfo. It will be updated regularly.
