SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Mercy Health Systems and CoxHealth have launched 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 to receive a vaccine, if eligible.
“Mercy is partnering with other health care systems to help the state of Missouri facilitate immunization of all groups within 1A and 1B-1 against COVID-19,” Mercy said in a press release Thursday.
The new sources also include guidelines from Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma to help determine who is eligible based on where their state is in the vaccination plan.
“Mercy appreciates the opportunity to support the state’s efforts to fully protect the people of Missouri at this important time and will continue to do so for as long as the state’s vaccination supply permits,” Mercy added.
CoxHealth has not yet been informed about the type of vaccine, how many doses they will receive, and when they could receive the vaccines through Phase 1B.
“We expect to receive this information from the state soon so that we can finalize plans and timing of vaccinations for our patients,” CoxHealth said in a press release on Thursday.
Leaders have also organized CoxHealth 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 leaders about interest in receiving a vaccine, but does not automatically register patients for a vaccine.
“We will also contact patients through different messaging channels when registration is available to them,” said CoxHealth.
