SPRINGFIELD, Missouri (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 for a vaccine, if applicable.
“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.
The new resources also include guidelines from Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma to help determine who is eligible based on their state’s position on their immunization plan.
“Mercy appreciates the opportunity to support the state’s efforts to fully protect Missourians during this important time and will continue to do so for as long as the state’s vaccine supply allows,” Mercy adds.
CoxHealth has not yet been made aware of the type of vaccine, how many doses they will receive, and when they may receive the vaccines during Phase 1B.
“We expect to learn this information from the status soon so that we can finalize the plans and schedule for vaccinations for our patients,” CoxHealth said in a press release Thursday.
CoxHealth executives have also organized an online system for patients. There is now a survey designed for CoxHealth patients, which is available through the Patient Portal at CoxHealth.com. The survey aims to educate health officials 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 the recording is available to them,” CoxHealth said.
