SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Mercy Health Systems and CoxHealth have introduced a new online resource while Missouri health leaders activate Phase 1B of the state’s COVID-19 vaccination plan.
Mercy has created an online form to help people determine their eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine and register for a vaccine, if eligible.
“Mercy is working with other health systems to help the state of Missouri facilitate the immunization of all groups within 1A and 1B-1 against COVID-19,” said Mercy in a press release on Thursday.
The new features also include guidelines from Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma to help determine who is eligible based on their state’s position in their vaccination plan.
“Mercy appreciates the opportunity to support the state’s efforts to fully protect Missouri residents during this important period and will continue to do so as long as the state’s vaccine supply allows,” Mercy adds.
CoxHealth has not yet been informed about the type of vaccine, how many doses you will receive and when you will be able to receive vaccines up to Phase 1B.
“We plan to receive this information from the state soon, so that we can finalize vaccination plans and deadlines for our patients,” said CoxHealth in a press release on Thursday.
CoxHealth leaders also organized an online system for patients. There is now research developed for CoxHealth patients, which is available on the CoxHealth.com patient portal. The research aims to inform health leaders about their interest in receiving a vaccine, but does not automatically register patients for a vaccine.
“We will also be in contact with patients through various messaging channels when registration is available to them,” said CoxHealth.
