Registration Instructions to Receive the Vaccine (I copied & amended this from a medical facility’s post). To our knowledge, at this point, there are several ways to get the vaccine. First, through Kaiser if you are a patient with Kaiser insurance. Email your primary care physician and the vaccine scheduling team will contact you. ... Through John Muir Health. Per an email blast from John Muir Health, if you have a John Muir Health account, they will contact you in a 'variety of ways including MyChart messages, email, text messages and phone calls.' They are going to start with patients 75 years and older and then work their way down. Through Contra Costa County Health Services. For those residents 65 and older please click below to register to get the vaccine from Contra Costa County Public Health website. After you complete the online registration form the county will determine if you qualify for the vaccine and send you an invitation to make an appointment. If you’re a Veteran, contact your VA hospital. https://forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx The CDC has a lot of great resources about the vaccine as well as the Contra Costa County Health Services page. Certainly, consult with your doctor if you have any questions.
