Hot Springs County Public Health releases COVID-19 vaccine numbers

Hot Springs County Public Health and Red Rock Family Practice are partnering to offer COVID-19 vaccines to our community.

The following are the anticipated numbers of vaccines to be delivered to Hot Springs County in February by week of delivery:

Feb. 1, Feb. 8 and Feb. 15: 100 each week. Feb. 22: 200. Total vaccine delivered in February: 500. Total received in January: 300. Total received in December: 200.

The numbers do not include second doses. Those are shipped separately. Second doses are arriving in HSC and began being administered last week. Second doses are given 28 days after the first.

Hot Springs County continues to vaccinate those in Phase 1a and 1b. The Phase 1b age group being vaccinated is presently limited to those 70 years of age and older. Wait list registration is now opened for anyone 65 or older.

You may register on the link at http://www.hscounty.com/vaccine. Please note once you complete your form and click submit you will have a confirmation pop up on your screen. You may print your Vaccination Consent forms there or they will be given to you to fill out when you arrive for your appointment.

You may also call the Wyoming Department of Health Pre-Registration Line at 1-800-438-5795. They will enter your information on the list used only by Hot Springs County.

You will be contacted by HSC Public Health or Red Rock Family Practice when it is your turn. Appointments for age 65 will begin as soon as the age 70 and over waiting list is completed.

The process will take time. Under your wintry garb, please wear short sleeves for your appointment.
