[Opening Graphic] COVID-19 Updates: COVID-19 Vaccination

[A black male wearing a grey sweater on black background - Devon Whitmore, DEAF, Inc. Community Advocate.]

[Devon] Hello All, I’m here once again to keep you abreast of COVID-19 related information. Entities have announced vaccination phases which have already begun. As of mid-January, those cleared for vaccinations include health care workers, first responders, people over 65, and those with chronic health conditions. [Graphic: a needle filled with liquid] You may be wondering – where do I start or how do I get my vaccination? If you are unable to get a shot through your employer, you can complete an online pre-registration form through [Graphic: a hospital with red cross] county health departments and area hospital systems. You can pre-register at more than one website and you can get your vaccination in a county you do not live in. [Graphic: a computer] Please see in our description for a list of where you can pre-register for your vaccination in St. Louis / Missouri. Missouri does not yet have a steady enough supply of vaccine, which will impact when you may be eligible to receive your vaccination. [Graphic: a clipboard with registration form] The pre-registration form will ask you questions like the type of job you have, your place of residence, age, and your health risks. Based on this information, the form will suggest which phase you may fall in. For example, if you’re 65 and older, you would fall under Phase 1B – Tier 2. If you’re a teacher, you would fall under Phase 1B – Tier 3. If you need assistance with completing the online pre-registration form, please contact us at DEAF, Inc. and we can assist with understanding the form. Thank you. Stay safe and stay healthy.
