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