Details about who is eligible for vaccinations and where you can receive them is quickly changing right now. In order to help consolidate the information, FNRC has created a new Vaccination page on our website. This page can help direct clients, family members and providers to the most current information for each county. We hope to grow this page as more information becomes available. You can find links to county websites, registration links (if available), and other details on our page below.

The Shasta College vaccine clinic today has been opened to the public. The clinic is at the Shasta College Gym until 5pm. You will need proof of residence in Shasta County such as ID Card or bill with your name on it.

Update regarding vaccinations in Butte County.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM BUTTE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH | February 1, 2021 Public Health to Pivot Away from COVID Vaccine Notification BUTTE COUNTY, Calif. Now that COVID vaccine appointment scheduling is available online, Butte County Public Health (BCPH) will stop taking registration for the COVID vaccine e-mail notification. Residents who have previously registered will continue to receive an e-mail notification when they are eligible to get the COVID vaccination.... For the week of February 1-5, all available vaccine clinics in Chico have been filled. Moving forward, COVID vaccination clinics will be announced to the public for online self-scheduling. These appointments will be on a first come, first serve basis. Announcements will be made through the local media, on the BCPH COVID vaccine website and on social media. Residents who do not have access to the internet, may call the COVID call center for assistance scheduling their vaccination appointment. While the vaccine remains highly prioritized, proof of age and ID will be required for age specific vaccination clinics. As Butte County is allocated more doses of the vaccine, more clinics will be scheduled. It’s important to understand that while a specific group may be eligible for the vaccine, that does not mean that there are enough doses available to vaccinate every person in that group right away.
