COVID vaccine sign up for health care systems and health departments
St. Louis County said over 200,000 people have registered on the site so far meaning it was take a while to get through the list.
The county said although they are following state guidance to schedule those who are in Phase 1A and 1B, there are still not enough doses to meet that demand.
As the supply of vaccines increase, the county will announce locations open for vaccinations.
Until then, they ask everyone to register for the vaccine and complete the form honestly.
Please do not make multiple appointments to receive the vaccine as it will be taking a dose from someone else.
The county says, “Registering yourself with us and other entities is ok. Making more than one appointment to be vaccinated is not.”
Finally, it is important for those who receive the first dose of the vaccine, go to the same vaccinator for the second.
