EMS Vaccine Standby
04/13/21
Daily the EMS is administering an average of four hundred COVID-19 vaccines, which are pre scheduled by the County Health Department. At the conclusion of each day the EMS frequently has 20 to 30 available vaccines (due to persons who fail to show up for appointments).
In order to utilize theses vaccines the EMS calls individuals from a standby list, made up of persons who wish to be vaccinated but have been unable to schedule an appointment with the County. If you are interested in being placed on this list or if you know someone who wishes to be vaccinated. Please e-mail JWhite@rlems.org with the following information:
1. Name
2. Cell phone number
Please note the following standby list conditions:
3. On a day to day basis the EMS does not know which of the approved COVID vaccines we will receive from the health department, therefore you cannot request a specific vaccine. During the current CDC-FDA pause in the use of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, we will not be administering this product. Once the pause is lifted by the FDA, the health department may again begin providing us this vaccine for distribution.
4. We are currently unable to vaccinate anyone under 18 years old at the EMS drive thru site.
5. You cannot request an appointment day or time. This opportunity is for our standby list only. This means you will be called between 10 am and 3 pm on days when additional vaccine is available, you then must be able to arrive at the EMS at the time we specify. No vaccines are provided at the EMS after 3:45 PM each day.
Finally, the EMS will not accept or return any phone calls regarding this program. Please do not call our office with questions, inquires or to be placed on the standby list. If you wish to be placed on our standby list please e-mail as described above.
