2500 appointments for COVID vaccines will be available for Alaskans 65 years and above, health care workers, long-term care facility residents and staff, and EMS personnel who meet certain criteria (Phase 1a and Phase 1b-Tier1) at Raven Hall starting January 12th:
Tuesday, Jan. 12 – 300 appointments
Thursday, Jan. 14 – 600 appointments
Tuesday, Jan. 19 – 800 appointments
Thursday, Jan. 21 – 800 appointments
The approximately 1000 individuals on the Mat-Su Public Health Center waitlist will be given priority for appointments. A secure registration link and information will be sent to those individuals who can begin registering at 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 11.
Open registration for all other eligible Alaskans will begin at 12 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 11 through the online scheduling system at covidvax.alaska.gov. If you need assistance scheduling, please leave a message at 907-646-3322. Someone will call you back to help schedule your appointment.
Walk-in vaccinations will not be available.
The Moderna vaccine will be administered, which requires a second dose 28 days later. An appointment for the second dose will be scheduled at the time of the first dose. The second dose will also be administered at Raven Hall.
If you know of a senior or someone who is eligible for vaccine, please offer them help. We’re all in this together. The goal as a community and state is to get vaccine out quickly and equitably across the state, with eligibility going first to those most at risk and vulnerable to severe illness and death.
This POD is announced by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS), the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the DHSS Mat-Su Public Health Center, and community partners.
