From the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:
Humboldt County is now using the State of California’s “My Vez” platform for COVID-19 vaccination notifications and scheduling.
My Turn is an online system that allows residents to check eligibility and book vaccination appointments locally as soon as they are available. All counties are required to adopt this new platform to continue receiving allocations of the state’s COVID-19 vaccine as part of an effort to increase the rate of distribution and administration of the vaccine.
As part of this transition, the Humboldt County online “Vaccine Interest Form” will no longer be used.
If you filled out the form of interest, but did not receive a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, submit your information through My Turn (MyTurn.ca.gov) to be notified of eligibility and sign up for an interview.
If you received your first dose of a two-dose public health vaccine and need a second dose, do not use My Turn. You should receive an invitation to the second dose of public health consultation by email five to seven days before a clinic. If you received your first dose from another provider in Humboldt County, that provider will contact you to schedule your second dose.
If you have not received a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, visit MyTurn.ca.gov to learn more about eligibility, schedule an appointment and receive updates on bookings and locations available. Public health clinics are available for registration on My Turn starting this week. More providers in Humboldt will transition to My Turn in the coming weeks for their first dose appointments.
My Turn requires users to schedule the first and second doses at the same time. Note that it can be very difficult to reschedule missed second dose appointments through the state system, and residents should select appointment times carefully to ensure that both doses of the two-dose vaccine are received within the recommended 42-day deadline. .
The system also requires an email address or cell phone. Those who do not have access to an email or cell phone or who have questions about My Turn can call the California COVID-19 hotline at 1-833-422-4255 (Monday through Friday, 8 am to 8 pm, Saturday to Sunday, from 8 am to 5 pm)
For general information, questions about second dose commitments, or assistance in navigating this new process, call the Humboldt County Joint Information Center at 707-441-5000, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm
For the latest information on COVID-19, visit cdc.gov or cdph.ca.gov. Local information is available at humboldtgov.org or during business hours, by contacting [email protected] or by calling 707-441-5000.
