TENNESSEE RESIDENTS HAVE OPTIONS TO ACCESS COVID VACCINE ELIGIBILITY TENNESSEE RESIDENTS HAVE OPTIONS TO ACCESS COVID VACCINE ELIGIBILITY

Tennesseans can now follow a simple, three-step process to learn when they’re eligible for Covid vaccinations and register for a vaccination appointment:
Tennesseans can find out what phase of the vaccination plan they’re in by visiting https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/eligibility/.

To learn what phase county is vaccinating, visit https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/vaccine-phases/.

People who are in a phase currently being vaccinated in their county can register online at https://covid19.tn.gov/covid-19-vaccines/vaccine-phases/ for an appointment time to receive a vaccination through their county health department. Click the county on the map and then click “Make an Appointment” to register.

Those who register will be asked to enter their name and contact information to be notified of their appointment date, time and location as soon as vaccine becomes available.

Individuals who do not have access to the internet or a computer may contact their local health department by phone for scheduling assistance when they are in phase.

The department continues to work on improving vaccine services, in hopes that the addition and enhancement of scheduling platforms to assist citizens in scheduling appointments will relieve some of the burden on phone lines, thus leading to shorter wait times for those who call in.
In addition, the Department continues to refine communications around how a person can gain access to vaccine services, and those communications will be announced as soon as possible. Specifically, the Department working on a one-pager on “How to get a COVID vaccine” that I believe will be helpful for your constituents
