I am sure if you go to your county web sight and then look for a covid 19 area you will find something. Good luck

I did an internet search and found this. It should be a start to answer any questions.

I live in Iowa and in our town one can call the hospital or medical clinics to get put on a list. They will get in touch with you when they get vaccine available. Waiting lists are long but the sooner you get your name on the list the better. If they are not doing it in this way in your county they will be able to tell you who you need to contact. Larger cities may be doing it differently but your hospital or clinic should be able to give you the needed information.

I signed up with the county health dept & online with the pharmacy I use for prescriptions. Call your Dr. office also.

I talked to my cousin yesterday, and her county has nothing about the vaccine yet. She has health issues besides being older. Four of her cousins in her town have had the covid. She said she should come to FL. for the winter, and have the vaccine. LOL

The McFarland Clinic will have the vaccine and I keep tabs on it thru the emails. So far they've given a criteria on who will be offered it first and I don't qualify other than for the age limit. I'm too healthy which is fine as I'd rather those in ill health, medical workers, 1st responders such as police and firemen and teachers get it first as they have to be around people more than I do.

I went to my county's public health web site. Basically it says they are still in Phase1a and it will take several weeks until further guidance from the state. February 1 is to be the starting of the next phase. Like you Snooze2978, age is my only qualification for the next stage. At this point no reservations are being made due to availability of the vaccine.

Every State has different sign up criteria. In MI the local health departments control the vaccines. Right now there is not enough vaccine to go around. So we are told we will be contacted when our turn comes available.
