Shasta County COVID vaccinations now prioritizing agricultural workers

March 11, 2021 Trevor Montgomery

SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — With the ongoing, now more than year-long COVID-19 pandemic and public health crisis continuing, Shasta County is reminding area residents that vaccinations for the novel coronavirus are continuing and have provided a number of resources and links to help facilitate the vaccination process.

Saying her offices have been inundated with many questions from her constituents regarding how they can get the COVID vaccine,1st District Assemblywoman Megan Dahle (R-Bieber) reached out to Shasta County News Source (SCNS) to help explain the vaccination process and how each county has a slightly different way of going about the vaccination’s distribution.

LEADING THE SCNS HEADLINES:

For Shasta County residents, more information can be found at the vaccination page at Shasta Ready. Here you can find your eligibility group, as well as check the list of clinics offering vaccinations.

Residents who already went through a Shasta County Mass Vaccination clinic for their first dose can find where and when to receive your second dose here.

Those interested can also sign up for “Tell me when it’s my turn”. This does not make an appointment for you but will get you on the waiting list, so public health officials can alert you when you are eligible to make an appointment.

Mayers Memorial Hospital continues to take forms for the COVID vaccine and is currently ready to move into the agricultural priority tier, but continues to provide vaccinations for those in previous phases and tiers, as well.

If you are:

Over 65 years of Age
IHSS worker
Law Enforcement
Education
Emergency Services
Medical Dental Provider staff
Child Care
Anyone else in Phase 1A or Tier 1 on Phase 1B can schedule your vaccine right now.

Veterinarian staff
Lumbermill worker

If you wish to receive a COVID vaccine, complete this form and Mayers will call you to schedule as vaccines are available to them. Spanish language speakers can utilize this form.
