SPRINGFIELD, Mo (KY3) – Mercy Health Systems and CoxHealth have introduced a new online resource as 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 to get a vaccine, if they are eligible.
“Mercy is working with other health care systems to help the State of Missouri facilitate the vaccination of all groups of 1A and 1B-1 against COVID-19,” Mercy said in a press release Thursday.
New resources also include guidelines from Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma to help determine who is eligible based on the location of their state in their immunization plan.
“Mercy appreciates the opportunity to support the state’s efforts to fully protect the Missourians during this important time and will continue to do so as long as the state’s supply of vaccines allows,” Mercy adds.
CoxHealth has not yet been informed about the type of vaccine, how many doses they will receive and when they could receive the vaccines through phase 1B.
“We anticipate learning this information from the state soon so we can finalize plans and timing of vaccinations for our patients,” CoxHealth said in a press release on Thursday.
CoxHealth leaders have also organized an online system for patients. There is now a survey designed for patients with CoxHealth, which is available on the patient portal at CoxHealth.com. The survey is intended to inform health leaders of interest in receiving a vaccine, but does not automatically register patients for a vaccine.
“We will also be in touch with patients through various messaging channels when registration is available,” CoxHealth said.
