Vaccine distribution will be a large-scale national effort that will take many months to complete. Healthcare personnel, particularly those with direct patient care roles, will most likely be among the first to have the vaccine offered to them. Our medical center has been preparing so that when the vaccine(s) become available, we will be able to provide timely access to our healthcare workers.
A MyChart account will be used to provide you notifications and details about vaccination. Important information about how to set up MyChart accounts will be shared and we will provide additional enrollment support to help people activate MyChart accounts if they do not already have one.
More information about our vaccination program rollout will be shared in future HICS messages, on the intranet and on our website.
