TAHOE FOREST HEALTH SYSTEM COVID-19 STATISTICS
VACCINATION AVAILABILITY - April 1, 2020
Nevada County Public Health has opened up vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and older at our Public Health clinics. Statewide, everyone 50+ is eligible at all vaccine providers as of today.
Nevada County wants to to make sure that our rate of community vaccinations stays as fast as possible and that people who are ready to get vaccinated can get an appointment. Public Health has seen the availability in our appointment scheduling system increase in the last few weeks, so they have opened up eligibility for Nevada County Public Health clinics to everyone 16 and older.
Please do not call your physician’s office, as they cannot schedule a vaccine for you. The best place to find information about the availability and distribution of the vaccine in our community is from county public health offices. To receive vaccine updates via text, text vaccineinfo to 898211 (Nevada County) or for Placer County, text placervaccine to 898211.
