GROUPS BEING VACCINATED NOW (updated Feb. 24)

Shasta County is fortunate to have many community providers who are helping give vaccines. The challenge here, and everywhere else in the state, continues to be supply. Shasta County has received about 22,000 doses so far, and we have used or distributed almost all of them. Our county has more than 14,000 licensed healthcare providers, 36,000 people over age 65, and 3,000 educators, plus all of the emergency services staff, skilled nursing facility staff/residents, laboratory workers and others who are eligible now. The county is still well short of the number of vaccines we need for everyone in Phase 1A and 1B who wants to be vaccinated. 

Mayers continues to schedule age 65 and older as we have vaccine allocations available. We are also accepting forms for K-12 Educators and Agriculture Workers. Please help us share the message to your friends and family in these groups.

We now have a form available in Spanish - please share

We will call you to schedule and appointment when we have vaccine availability. Please note that we are scheduling in the order the forms are received within the specific Tiers and Age groups.
